Black Mirror Season 7, the darkly satirical anthology, premieres April 10, 2025, with six episodes, including a USS Callister sequel.
Hey, I just stumbled across some awesome news about Black Mirror Season 7 and had to share it with you! The new season is hitting screens on April 10, 2025, and it’s packing six episodes, including a sequel to that mind-blowing USS Callister episode from Season 4. You remember—the one that was like a dark, twisted Star Trek and totally stole the show? Well, get ready, because there’s a lot to talk about.
The sequel’s called USS Callister: Into Infinity, and it’s going to be feature-length, which is pretty exciting. Some familiar faces are back, like Cristin Milioti (aka Nanette Cole) and Billy Magnussen, though sadly, Jesse Plemons and Michaela Coel won’t be joining them. Charlie Brooker, the genius behind Black Mirror, said Deadline this one took forever to make—thanks to the pandemic and a bunch of other delays—but he’s hyping it up big time. He even said if the original was Star Trek, this one’s more like Star Wars, with a grand, adventurous vibe. I’m already hooked!
The rest of Season 7 is looking just as epic. Here’s a quick rundown of the other episodes and who’s starring in them:
- Common People: Chris O’Dowd, Rashida Jones, and Tracee Ellis Ross.
- Bête Noir: Siena Kelly, Rosy McEwen, and Ben Bailey Smith.
- Hotel Reverie: Emma Corrin, Issa Rae, Awkwafina, and Harriet Walter.
- Plaything: Peter Capaldi, Lewis Gribben, and Will Poulter.
- Eulogy: Paul Giamatti.
That’s a seriously impressive lineup, right? And there’s more—expect some cool callbacks to past episodes, like Bandersnatch (that interactive one where you picked the story). Will Poulter and Asim Chaudhry are even reprising their roles, so it’ll be fun to see how it all ties together.
Black Mirror always hits close to home, especially now with all the buzz about AI and tech. Brooker mentioned he’s fascinated by AI as a tool but also kind of freaked out by how much we might lean on it. That’s the Black Mirror magic—it’s not just a show; it’s a wake-up call about where we’re headed.
So, mark April 10, 2025, on your calendar and brace yourself for another wild ride. It’s been a minute since Season 6, and it sounds like they’re going all out this time. I can’t wait to see what twisted, thought-provoking stories they’ve got in store—and yeah, to question reality all over again. How about you?
