Black Mirror Season 7 Confirmed For 2025, Including USS Callister Sequel

There is good news for fans of Charlie Brooker's dark, satirical anthology series Black Mirror. While we still have a wait ahead of us, we now know that Season 7 of the show will debut in 2025, including a sequel to classic Star Trek-nudging ep USS Callister. Check out the sizzle teaser for the season below…

This being Brooker and Black Mirror, there are naturally very few details to be gleaned at this point. All we really know about the seventh season is that it'll have six standalone episodes and shooting is already underway.

The only episode confirmed is, as mentioned above, a follow-up to popular Season 4 entry USS Callister. The original starred Jesse Plemons, Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson, Michaela Coel and Billy Magnussen in the story of Robert Daly (Plemons), a genius, egotistical game company guru who gets frustrated at a perceived lack of recognition. He creates a simulated reality within the game where he gets to be a dramatic, Captain Kirk-style figure commanding the titular ship with an adoring crew based on his real-life employees.

With a SPOILER ALERT here for anyone who has yet to watch the episode, USS Callister ends with Daly dead. But the problems for the rest of the crew have only just begun…

Now begins the long wait for more story details and casting announcements on the various new episodes. We've tried setting phasers to patience, but does anyone have a spare spaceship so we can slingshot around the sun and travel forward in time?
