‘Black Mirror’ Season 7: Premiere Date, Full Cast & More Details

TV’s creepiest tech show is coming back for another round. Black Mirror is returning for Season 7 with half a dozen new episodes. The thrilling anthology series from Charlie Brooker underwent some stylistic changes in Season 6 — including a major lean into the supernatural territory — and it looks like the new season will tweak the formula a bit more as well.

Here we’ll break down everything we know about Black Mirror Season 7 so far.

When will Black Mirror Season 7 premiere?

Netflix confirmed the new season is due to premiere on April 10.

How many episodes of Black Mirror Season 7 will there be?

Netflix has announced that there’ll be six new episodes of Black Mirror in Season 7. The streamer teased, “Robert Daly is dead, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their problems are just beginning.” With the release of the first-look photos and trailer, we learned that another role reprisal is nigh with Will Poulter and Asim Chaudhry’s Bandersnatch characters returning for another Tuckersoft adventure as well.

What will Black Mirror Season 7 be about?

Details on the new season are slim at this time, but what we do know is that one of the episodes will be a sequel to the fan-favorite Season 4 episode “U.S.S. Callister.”

Meanwhile, Charlie Brooker told Tudum the season is “a little bit OG Black Mirror,” adding, “It’s back to basics in many ways. They’re all sci-fi stories — there’s definitely some horrifying things that occur, but maybe not in an overt horror-movie way. There’s definitely some disturbing content in it.”

Who is in the cast of Black Mirror Season 7?

A full cast list has finally been revealed. Since a sequel to the spaceship-centric episode “U.S.S. Callister” is on the rise, fans it’s probably no surprise that several cast members from that segment (other than Jesse Plemons, whose character died) will return, including Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson, Billy Magnussen, Osy Ikhile, and Milanka Brooks.

Also starring in the new season are Awkwafina, Peter Capaldi, Emma Corrin, Patsy Ferran, Paul Giamatti, Lewis Gribben, Rashida Jones, Siena Kelly, Rosy McEwen, Chris O’Dowd, Issa Rae, Paul G. Raymond, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Harriet Walter. And Netflix added the following names to the list on March 13: Michele Austin, Ben Bailey Smith, Asim Chaudhry, Josh Finan, James Nelson-Joyce, Will Poulter, Jay Simpson, and Michael Workéyè. It is unclear if Poulter is reprising his role from Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, but the materials hint that he might be.

Meanwhile, Brooker will return as creator and executive produce alongside Jessica Rhoades and Annabel Jones.

Is there a trailer for Black Mirror Season 7?

Yes! The trailer for Season 7 has been embedded above and features snippets of what’s ahead across the entire six episodes, including the “U.S.S. Callister” sequel.  There are also a batch of images available here.

Netflix also released two video announcement teasers for the new season, embedded below.

Is Season 7 the final season of Black Mirror?

There’s no indication as of this time that the seventh season of the show will be its last.
