Not only did Black Mirror drop a lengthy season seven trailer, but it also released episode titles and plot details. The six-episode season, which includes the much-anticipated sequel to USS Callister, will premiere on April 10, 2025.
Charlie Brooker created the series and once again writes each of the episodes. Season seven directors include David Slade, Ally Pankiw, Toby Haynes, Haolu Wang, and Luke Taylor. Brooker, Jessica Rhoades, and Annabel Jones executive produce.
Commenting on the upcoming season, Brooker told Netflix’s Tudum, “You can expect a mix of genres and styles. […]We’ve got six episodes this time, and two of them are basically feature-length. Some of them are deeply unpleasant, some are quite funny, and some are emotional.”
