Hang onto your hats, ya big freaks ‘cos Black Mirror Season Seven is on its way!
Netflix just dropped a bunch of deets about the scary new season which we can expect v. bloody soon!!
Not gonna lie, I’m new to Black Mirror meself. I gave it a burl last season ‘cos of all the epic guest stars and lemme tell ya, I was blown away!
Although I must admit, it sparked my chilling fear and dread for deepfake and AI which has only grown since, but I guess that was the point of it all, right?

Anywho, here’s everything we know about the new season.
Black Mirror Season Seven
Is there a Black Mirror Season Seven?
There sure is, my friends!
Netflix is dropping six brand new episodes, including a sequel to the smash hit and critically acclaimed sci-fi adventure USS Callister.
When is it dropping?
Next year, I’m afraid.
While the streaming service did not give an exact date, they did reveal that it’s coming in 2025 which is vague AF but hey, at least we know it’s happening!
That’s something, right? It’s hope…
Who is in the cast?
We finally got word of who will be joining the cast of Black Mirror‘s seventh season, and it’s starry enough to warrant its own damn constellation.
The upcoming instalment will feature both new and familiar faces, with some actors returning for the “U.S.S. Callister” sequel episode.
That includes Cristin Milioti, Billy Magnussen, Jimmy Simpson, Milanka Brooks and Osy Ikhile, each of whom will reprise their roles from the harrowing season four episode.
There’s also a stack of new names joining the Black Mirror universe for season seven, led by Deadpool & Wolverine star Emma Corrin and The Farewell‘s Awkwafina.
They will share the screen with fellow new castmates like Oscar-nominee Paul Giamatti, Barbie’s Issa Rae, and Tracee Ellis Ross.
For her part, Parks and Recreation star Rashida Jones — who co-wrote the season three episode “Nosedive” — will this time appear in front of the camera, and so too will Peter Capaldi, Patsy Ferran, Lewis Gribben and Bridesmaids’ Chris O’Dowd.
The new season seven cast is rounded out by Siena Kelly, Rosy McEwen, Paul G. Raymond and Harriet Walter.
Some of these castmates’ names appeared glitching across the screen in a recent promotional video shared on social media by Netflix. See if you can catch them below.
Is there a trailer yet?
Eh, not quite. It’s so far away, they’re probably still in the midst of filming, editing, etc.
BUT!
Netflix shared a sneaky teaser clip to go with the announcement, which I shall leave you with below:
