"We must forge software that elevates our humanity..." Here we are, on the brink of another journey! Netflix has unveiled the much-anticipated first trailer for the seventh season of "Black Mirror," Charlie Brooker's iconic sci-fi anthology series, promising six captivating new episodes. Brooker himself helmed five episodes for the sixth season, which premiered in 2023. Now, come April, six more episodes await our eager eyes, directed by an array of talented filmmakers including David Slade, Ally Pankiw, and Haolu Wang. Netflix has kept the specifics of these episodes tightly under wraps (barring the sequel we all eagerly anticipate) – leaving us to speculate based solely on this intriguing footage.
"Behold your first glimpse of the new episodes of 'Black Mirror,' including a sequel to the riveting sci-fi adventure 'USS Callister,'" Netflix teases. Brooker adds, "Brace yourself for a tapestry of genres and styles... Some will leave you deeply disturbed, others will tickle your funny bone, and still, others will tug at your heartstrings." This upcoming season marks a return to the series' roots, with Brooker asserting, "It's a little bit OG Black Mirror. It's a reversion to basics in many respects. Each episode is a sci-fi tale."
The stellar new cast includes Michele Austin, Ben Bailey Smith, Asim Chaudhry, Josh Finan, Will Poulter, Jay Simpson, Awkwafina, Milanka Brooks, Peter Capaldi, Emma Corrin, Patsy Ferran, Paul Giamatti, Lewis Gribben, Osy Ikhile, Rashida Jones, Siena Kelly, Billy Magnussen, Rosy McEwen, Cristin Milioti, Chris O'Dowd, Issa Rae, Paul G. Raymond, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Jimmi Simpson, among others. The anticipation is palpable! Let the mind-bending commence.
"Lose yourself in the labyrinth of madness. Surrender to the illusion of reality. The Emmy Award-winning series returns with six fresh narratives. Nothing is ever as it seems," Netflix enthuses. Charlie Brooker's dark, satirical anthology series will make its grand return in April 2025 with six all-new episodes, featuring a sequel to the beloved 'USS Callister.' "Fans of the show will recognize the familiar faces from a certain spaceship that graced one of our episodes," Brooker hints, "For the first time in 'Black Mirror' history, we've crafted a sequel. Normally, I bid farewell to all characters at an episode's conclusion, but this time, I spared some. I'm evolving as a human," he jokes.
"Black Mirror," created and produced by Charlie Brooker, who conceived the series in 2011 with Season 1, is executive produced by Brooker, Jessica Rhoades, and Annabel Jones. Toby Haynes, David Slade, Ally Pankiw, Christopher Barrett, Luke Taylor, and Haolu Wang serve as directors for Season 7. Writer credits are still pending finalization. Netflix will premiere all episodes of Brooker's "Black Mirror" Season 7 worldwide on April 10th, 2025. Are you thrilled to delve deeper into this mesmerizing world?
