black mirror is back with six new episodes.
The science fiction anthology series – easily the biggest and most popular show of its kind since The Twilight Zone – will return for a seventh season next year, Netflix announced today.
They followed up the news with a brief teaser for the new season…
Although the other five episodes are still unknown, on Netflix Tudum website, they revealed that the sixth episode is rare black mirror sequel: will continue the story of the episode “USS Callister” from season 4. This episode focused on the creator of a popular online video game, played by Jesse Plemons. Mistreated (or at least he he thinks he is mistreated) at work, Plemons’ character creates a simulated reality within the game where he can play the role of Captain Kirk and lead his co-workers on adventures inspired by (and mocking) the original Star Trek.

The description for this episode following “USS Callister” says “Robert Daly is dead, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their troubles are just beginning.”
Created in 2011 by writer and producer Charlie Brooker, black mirror premiered in the UK on Channel 4. From the third season onwards, the show moved to Netflix. A total of 27 episodes have been produced to date along with an interactive special Bandersnatch. Six episodes would correspond to the longest seasons the series has ever produced; some years only had three new episodes. (Because the series is an anthology, with different stories and entirely new casts each time, and because Netflix doesn’t air things on a regular or recurring schedule, the number of episodes in each season varies greatly.)
The new season of black mirror will debut on Netflix in 2025. Previous seasons are all streaming on Netflix.
