According to comments in TV writer Rod Serling’s 1957 anthology Patterns, he had been trying to delve into material more controversial than his works of the early 1950s. Serling thought that a science-fictional setting would give him more freedom in expressing controversial ideas than more realistic settings. In 2011 Charlie Brooker had completed production of Dead Set, a zombie-based drama series, and had decided that he wanted to make another drama series, in an anthology style like The Twilight Zone.
