Black Mirror Season 7 (Out now - Netflix)

[Benjamin]

We’re still not done untangling our thoughts and feelings about the sixth season of Black Mirror, yet Charlie Brooker’s dark, satirical anthology series is deep in production on six new episodes for Season 7, which will stream on Netflix in 2025. As part of Geeked Week, Netflix’s epic annual festival celebrating all things fandom, the lead cast of the upcoming season has been revealed, along with clues from Brooker himself as he took the stage at the live event in Atlanta on Sept. 19.

“You can expect a mix of genres and styles,” Brooker told the amped-up audiences of Geeked Week. “We've got six episodes this time, and two of them are basically feature-length. Some of them are deeply unpleasant, some are quite funny, and some are emotional.”

Later, backstage at the event, Brooker told Tudum that the new season was “a little bit OG Black Mirror.” He added, “It’s back to basics in many ways. They’re all sci-fi stories, but 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.”

Brooker and the Black Mirror creative team aren’t giving away any specific spoilers, but they are teasing one major nugget of information: One of the episodes will be a sequel to the now-classic Season 4 opener, “USS Callister.”

“Fans of the show will recognize the cast of a certain spaceship from one of our episodes reappearing,” Brooker said on stage. “We’ve done a sequel for the first time in Black Mirror history. Normally, I kill off all the characters at the end of an episode, and I kept some of ’em alive. I’m growing as a human.”

The high-profile Season 4 episode centered on Robert Daly, a brilliant but troubled programmer who co-created a popular online video game. Unhappy with a perceived lack of recognition at his gaming company, Robert then creates a simulated reality within the game, giving himself the role of a Captain Kirk–like figure aboard a starship and leading an adoring crew — based on his real-life co-workers — on zany sci-fi adventures. Of course, because this is Black Mirror, things take an unexpected and sinister turn.

Aside from the tease about the sequel to the USS Callister episode, Netflix has announced the lead cast members –– listed below alphabetically –– of Black Mirror Season 7 via a cryptic “data drop” asset.

“We’ve got an embarrassingly stacked cast,” said Brooker.

Peter Capaldi (Criminal Record)
Emma Corrin (Deadpool & Wolverine)
Patsy Ferran (Firebrand)

Am I the only one who didn't like Bandersnatch? Cool concept but I didn't find it entertaining at all. Apparently there's going to be a sequel of it

[Ammi]

…is this something that I can watch independently without catching up on the previous seasons…?…

[Benjamin]

…is this something that I can watch independently without catching up on the previous seasons…?…

Yeah. Every episode is a different story/cast. I’d highly recommend watching seasons 3 (6 episodes)though first to get you in the mood, and season 4 episode 1 as this one is important to season 7.

Also White Christmas episode is worth watching.

…thank you..:love:…if they’re all showing on Netflix, I’ll see what I can catch up with before the new season…

My fave episode is season 3 episode 6 (hated in the nation). Episode 1 is glorious too.

…ok, if I don’t get the chance to catch up on all previous season episode, I’ll put your recommended ones at the top of the list…

[Benjamin]

Add season 3 episode 4 to that list. You’ll love that one.

[Ammi]

Add season 3 episode 4 to that list. You’ll love that one.

…:laugh:…I’m going to try to watch them all, I think it’s doable as there aren’t too many episodes in each season…

[Niamh.]

[Niamh.]

[Ammi]

You should!

…I’m on it…:love:..

I thought you would have watched these before, they're so good (most of them anyway) report back on the episodes :love:

…I was late in coming to series like Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead as well because I always got distracted and forget about them…/…I was more of a movie person…it’s only through the power of streaming sites and bing watching abilities that the world has opened up for me in the last few years…:laugh:…I still have a way to catch up…and actually some of the older/but extremely popular series are still ones that are pay choices on some of my sites…

[Ammi]

…I always struggled to be able to watch some of the AHS seasons as well when they were much talked about on the forum…

Well at least with these they are all stand alone episodes so pretty much like watching individual movies and if you cant find a link for 1 or 2 it won't through you off

…yeah I’ll try to watch them all from the start but if I can’t, I should still be set for the new season…

[Niamh.]

Seasons 1 & 2 were great but they started getting worse and worse after that. I think I stopped after Freak show which was S4(?) I did try Hotel but I couldn't even get through Ep1

…I was able to get links to watch Murder House, Asylum, Coven and Freak Show…I think that was all unless I’ve forgotten one…I did feel as though the storylines were becoming a bit ‘depraved’ and less substance, though…more out to shock and sensationalise…

Yeah definitely

[Ammi]

…I’m just about to start season 3 of this…I’ve watched all of the episodes in order so far…(…although I think there has only been 7 in total over two seasons…)…some have been a good watch and others, a bit more meh…a bit of a mixed bag but all in all, not too shabby…

[Ammi]

…some excellent episodes in season 3, looking forward to season 4 now…

Drops April 7

…I just looked back to see which ones you recommended and if I’d watched any yet…and yes, yes, yes to all of those, I did love them…plus episode 3, Nosedive was a great watch as well…well, they’re all good watches…it’s quite intense to binge them back to back just because they’re all so different and they leave you needing to absorb them a bit…and then it’s a different vibe for the next one etc…I might watch the first episode of season 4 later if I get time…

[Ammi]

…I think that season 4/episode 1 - USS Callister might be up there as one of my top ones so far, that was a great story…

[Benjamin]

Season 7 has a follow up to that episode. :dazzler:

I was hoping for a follow up to Hated in the Nation with season 7 though. :(

[Ammi]

…ooooo, that’s intriguing with the follow up but I guess that it was left open to it…some of those storylines are so scary in terms of how they relate to so much of the real world mindsets atm…they really don’t feel that far removed, which is a terrifying thought…

[Ammi]

….season 4/episode 3 I think it was…Crocodile….

…I was trying to fathom why she killed the baby…it’s not as if she wanted to kill and was drawn to killing…but I guess it’s because the memory jolting machine could have been used on the baby as well and it be played what they had seen…that whole episode was probably the darkest and most upsetting to date, so many deaths and lives destroyed…

It was because of that (not realising the baby was blind and wouldn’t have got her caught).

[Ammi]

…just one more season to catch up now but I don’t know whether I need to watch that season if none of the stories are relevant to the new season…

[Benjamin]

I’d still watch it so you’re up to date. Plus Annie Murphy is in an episode ;)

…ok, will start it later then…it’s a 5 episode season then I’m all caught up…:love:….

[Ammi]

…2 more episodes to go of season 6…

[user104658]

Seasons 1 & 2 were great but they started getting worse and worse after that. I think I stopped after Freak show which was S4(?) I did try Hotel but I couldn't even get through Ep1

IMO the only watchable one I saw after Coven was "Apocalypse" and that was more because it was so weird/surreal, rather than "good".

[Benjamin]

…just one more season to catch up now but I don’t know whether I need to watch that season if none of the stories are relevant to the new season…

I want your top 5. In order. Polished and ready to go.

[Ammi]

I want your top 5. In order. Polished and ready to go.

….hmmm, let me think…I feel a bit frazzled and dazed in binge watching them back to back but I liked The National Anthem from season 1, that was so screwed up…season 2/White Christmas was very good…Nosedive and Shut Up and Dance and Hated in the Nation from season 3 were all worthy contenders…USS Callister and Black Museum from season 4…plus Crocodile ….Smithereens was probably my favourite from season 5 …season 6 - Joan is Awful, Beyond the Sea, Mazey Day and Demon 79 were all good watches…

…it is a series though that downs your mood and vibe when you watch back to back and absorb so many dark stories in such a short time…I found, anyway…there should be an episode on that…

What was Smithereens? I can’t recall.

[Benjamin]

Also not sure where I got 7th April from, it clearly is released 10th April. :laugh:

[Ammi]

What was Smithereens? I can’t recall.

….it’s the one with Andrew Scott…(…one of my favourite actors anyway so that’s a good start to the plot…:laugh…)….

…its about the dangers/addictions of social media apps and he’s a taxi driver who waits to kidnap an employee of the company so that he can get to talk to the CEO and tell him his story before he kills himself…and the part that he feels this app has played in his story……

[Ammi]

Also not sure where I got 7th April from, it clearly is released 10th April. :laugh:

…probably because 7th is CBB launch date…

[Benjamin]

It’s up

[Niamh.]

woohoo, will throw one on tonight

[Ammi]

…I watched the first episode earlier …:love:..

[Niamh.]

2 episode in

E1

I found it a bit upsetting like it's something I could imagine happening especially in the states with their health care set up. Ugh I mean it was good and dystopian but it made me feel unsettled

Ep 2

I enjoyed this one more in an entertainment way but I was rooting for Verity as a bully victim so was kind of annoyed the bully won in the end bah

[jones89]

Is this better than the last series ?

[Niamh.]

Is this better than the last series ?Don't know yet

…yeah those are the only two I’ve watched so far and pretty much agree with your thoughts…

….the first one was obviously so predictable from the off that he was going to go down the route of that dark web site for money and the whole thing for me was just unsettling also in so many ways…she was his world/the love of his life etc but then he really needed so much for her existence to end because there was nothing of any quality left for either of them and never would be…

[Niamh.]

I've finished them all now Ep 6 USS Callister was my favourite.

I didn't love E3, E4 was OK AND E5 was pretty good

I'd rank them in order of best to worst

E6
E5
E2
E1
E4
E3

[Glenn.]

Do your Netflix play them in a different order to the actual episode order?

[Glenn.]

We still have two episodes to watch.

[Niamh.]

Do your Netflix play them in a different order to the actual episode order?

I don't think so, why?

[Ammi]

…I’ve just watched the first 3 so far and won’t watch any more for a little while…I’ll probably catch up in a few weeks…I’m not disliking the season but I’m not loving it either..maybe I burnt out a bit in binging the other seasons from the beginning…

The last 2 are the best ones imo

[Ammi]

The last 2 are the best ones imo

…that’s good to know because atm I’m a bit so-so and meh about the stories…they’re ok, it’s passing time and easy to watch a series atm with separate storylines but for me, it’s not raising its head above ok…

[Niamh.]

…that’s good to know because atm I’m a bit so-so and meh about the stories…they’re ok, it’s passing time and easy to watch a series atm with separate storylines but for me, it’s not raising its head above ok…Ep 6 is a part 2 of USS Callister story

[Ammi]

Ep 6 is a part 2 of USS Callister story

…that’s the one that I’ve been most looking forward to, to see how it continues…:love:..

[Glenn.]

I don't think so, why?

Well we watched the Callister episode first then the rest of the series followed. It was strange and we thought it was some clever black mirror plot.

I checked the actual Ep numbers and the way they played on my Netflix seems to be in the right order, USS Callister played last and it was E6.

[jones89]

Watched the first 2 eps lastnight and they were great actually. Looking better than the last series already

[Niamh.]

Be prepared the next 2 aren't great but the last 2 are very good, especially Ep6

[jones89]

There always seems to be a couple mehh ones every series :joker:

[jones89]

Be prepared the next 2 aren't great but the last 2 are very good, especially Ep6

So 3 is definitely a bit mehh

[Ammi]

Well we watched the Callister episode first then the rest of the series followed. It was strange and we thought it was some clever black mirror plot.

…the episodes weren’t shown backwards/upside down, were they…?…I’ve just binged all of the seasons and that’s how all of them showed for me for some reason…I had to go to what I would have thought was the last one but it was the first…?… because they were all different stories it did take me a while to realise that I was watching them upside down…:laugh:…

[Ammi]

So 3 is definitely a bit mehh

…I’ve only watched the first 3 but so far #3 was definitely the most meh…it was so predictable from the off and really quite bland in storyline…

[jones89]

…I’ve only watched the first 3 but so far #3 was definitely the most meh…it was so predictable from the off and really quite bland in storyline…

Didn’t really love the 4th one either. Not much happened

[Ammi]

Didn’t really love the 4th one either. Not much happened

…:laugh:..the good thing about the series I guess…is that it’s not a continuous storyline so it’s easier to dip in and out of while watching other things…

[jones89]

…:laugh:..the good thing about the series I guess…is that it’s not a continuous storyline so it’s easier to dip in and out of while watching other things…

Yeah that’s true. I’m gonna finish it tonight anyway

[Zizu]

Just watched the 1st ep from season 7.

I actually really liked it and you could see this type of thing actually happening in real life.

Planning on watching this this coming week. Hope it's good.

I revisited San Junipero the other night - still as wonderful as the first time. I cry every time. :love:
