‘Black Mirror’ Season 7 Will Include a “USS Callister” Sequel

Season seven of Netflix’s critically acclaimed anthology series Black Mirror will make a return trip to the world of the USS Callister. The popular Star Trek-inspired season four episode starred Jesse Plemons as Capt. Robert Daly, Cristin Milioti as Nanette Cole, Jimmi Simpson as Walton, Michaela Coel as Shania, and Billy Magnussen as Valdack.

“Robert Daly is dead, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their problems are just beginning,” teases Netflix.

Production is currently underway on the seventh season, with the streamer targeting a 2025 premiere. Series creator Charlie Brooker returns as writer and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Jessica Rhoades and Annabel Jones.

Season seven will consist of six new episodes, including the USS Callister sequel. Brooker’s keeping episode details – including casts and storylines – for the other five episodes under wraps for now.
