The streaming platform saw unprecedented success as it reached the top spot in 92 countries and remained in Netflix’s top 10 English-speaking TV ranking for a month. Now, you might be curious about Season 7 and when Black Mirror will make its return. Here’s the latest update.

Is Black Mirror Season 7 happening?

Yes, Black Mirror Season 7 is in development at Netflix.

Variety recently reported that a seventh season of Black Mirror is in the works, despite the recent trend of Netflix canceling shows. According to Nielsen, Season 6 debuted in Netflix’s number one slot with over 1.356 billion minutes viewed, indicating strong viewership numbers.

Is there a Black Mirror Season 7 release date?

No, Black Mirror Season 7 doesn’t have an official release date right now.

Netflix has not officially announced the seventh season yet, but according to Variety, Brooker, Annabel Jones, and Jessica Rhodes will return as executive producers, and filming is scheduled to start later this year. We will continue to update this space with any new information.

Black Mirror Season 7: What would the next season be about?

Plot details are being kept under wraps for Black Mirror Season 7.

The upcoming season is expected to maintain its anthology format, delving into various sci-fi and supernatural themes. Brooker has hinted that future seasons of Black Mirror could potentially cover a wide range of topics. In an interview with Tudum, he expressed his belief that the show should feature completely unique stories, continually surprising both the audience and himself. He emphasized the importance of Black Mirror being a series that defies easy categorization and constantly evolves.

Season 6 delved deeper into mystery and supernatural elements than previous seasons, so it's possible that a new season would continue in this direction. Brooker also expressed interest in exploring animation for future episodes, mentioning that he has never done an animated or musical episode before.

The concept for USS Callister actually originated from my initial idea for a musical story, but ended up taking a different direction. This season features a variety of genres including old-school horror, retro-futuristic, and comedy, making it a diverse mix. So, anything is possible!

Black Mirror Season 7 cast: Who could star in the next season?

Currently there is no confirmed cast list for any future seasons of Black Mirror, but Season 7 would likely include even more established actors, as we’ve seen before.

Season 6 of Black Mirror featured an impressive lineup of celebrities, including Aaron Paul, Josh Hartnett, Zazie Beetz, Salma Hayek Pinault, Michael Cera, Annie Murphy, and Rory Culkin. Previous seasons have also included stars like Miley Cyrus, Domhnall Gleeson, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Jon Hamm. With Black Mirror being an anthology series, it's safe to expect more big name celebrities in each episode of Season 7, offering a range of new and captivating roles in future stories.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Black Mirror Season 7. The show's unique and thought-provoking episodes have captivated audiences for years, and I am excited to see what the new season will bring. I am particularly interested in seeing how the show will continue to explore the intersection of technology and humanity, and how it will address the ethical issues raised by new technologies.

I am also curious to see how the show will evolve in terms of its format and storytelling. The anthology format has been a successful one for Black Mirror, but I am open to seeing the show experiment with different ways of telling stories. I am confident that the creative team behind Black Mirror will continue to deliver high-quality and thought-provoking content, and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us in Season 7.
