What will happened in Black Mirror season 7?
The plots of Black Mirror episodes are usually kept pretty under wraps, however, on 14 March 2024, Netflix did confirm what one of the new episodes will centre on.
One of the episodes will be a sequel to season four episode 'USS Callister', with Netflix saying about the episode, "USS Callister will return... Robert Daly is dead, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their problems are just beginning."
Eekk! So exciting.
Who is in the cast of Black Mirror season 7?
Black Mirror features an anthology cast each season, which usually means there's no repeat actors from previous series, however thanks to the return of the USS Callister plot line, we will be seeing Billy Magnussen, Milanka Brooks and Osy Ikhile return alongside Cristin Milioti for season seven.
Also returning this season is Will Poulter, following his appearance in the 2018 special Bandersnatch.

What is Black Mirror about?
The dystopian drama series, created by Charlie Brooker, tells new stories each episode that explore themes such as technology, AI, modern society, celebrity and more. Each individual episode also has new actors, settings and stories that explore the dark side of human nature, meaning you can watch all six seasons in whatever order you choose.
The series first aired on Channel 4 all the way back in 2011 (we can’t believe it’s been over a decade!), then it moved to Netflix and has had everyone talking about it ever since.
Black Mirror is streaming on Netflix now.
