Black Mirror Season 7 Sets All-Star Cast With Paul Giamatti, Emma Corrin, Peter Capaldi And More

Considering his show's called Black Mirror, creator, writer, and eternal pessimist Charlie Brooker sure does have a habit of finding actors who light up the screen with their work to bring his dark sci-fi tales to life. In its most recent sixth season alone, the Netflix anthology series boasted a roll call including Josh Hartnett, Paapa Essiedu, Aaron Paul, Annie Murphy, and Salma Hayek. And now today, following a cryptic X post on the official Black Mirror account, we know who'll be bringing our deepest fears to life in Season 7. As revealed by Netflix, the 19-strong lead cast for the upcoming run of episodes boasts Paul Giamatti, Emma Corrin, Peter Capaldi, Issa Rae, and Chris O'Dowd for starters.

Also joining the above heavyweight newcomers to the Mirrorverse this time around are *deep breath* Awkwafina (Jackpot!), Patsy Ferran (Living), Lewis Gribben (T2__Trainspotting), Rashida Jones (Sunny), Siena Kelly (Domino Day), Rosy McEwan (Blue Jean), Paul G. Raymond (Wonka), Tracee Ellis Ross (American Fiction), and Harriet Walter (The Last Duel). And if you thought we were done there, then no sirree! Perhaps most excitingly, familiar faces from the series' past Cristin Milioti, Billy Magnussen, Jimmi Simpson, Milanka Brooks, and Osy Ikhile are all set to return for a follow-up to Season 4 opener and Star Trek riffing fan-favourite ep 'USS Callister'.

The only other information we have about Season 7 of Black Mirror so far is a very simple logline — "Charlie Brooker’s dark, satirical anthology series will return in 2025 with six brand new episodes, including a sequel to the sci-fi adventure USS Callister” — and, via the cryptic teaser video, the confirmed presence once again of recurring nefarious tech company Tuckersoft. We'll bring you more news on Brooker's latest set of anxiety inducing hours of TV just as soon as we get them, and in the meantime there's no time like the present for a good old binge watch. Prime Minister and a pig you say? How very, very far fetched!
