The first 2 seasons were channel 4, but yes, this new season does feature a lot more American actors, and I can't recall a single regional British accent in there... definitely made with a wider world audience in mind.

It was never a BBC show, the UK has more than one television broadcaster.

Black Mirror was originally broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK; but was made by an independent television company, Zeppotron who have subsequently sold the rights to Netflix.

The show is still produced by the same British team, but now has a bigger budget, and a focus towards the US audience.

It was on Channel 4, NOT the BBC. Both very different entities especially in their programming. C4 is known for taking more risks so there's a chance the BBC would never have picked up Black Mirror. They have shown 'topical' shows featuring Charlie Brooker though such as 'Newswipe'.

It was never on BBC, it was produced and shown by Channel Four.
