How 'Black Mirror' Could Pull Off a "USS Callister" Sequel
Not only does "USS Callister" lend itself to a Black Mirror sequel episode, but the possibilities of what a sequel could entail are endless.
One of the most beloved Black Mirror episodes ever is getting a sequel in the show’s upcoming seventh season, set to hit Netflix in 2025. Cast among the anthology series’ top 10 greatest on IMDb and considered a scathing critique of toxic masculinity, Season 4’s “USS Callister” is getting a new life in an episode that will most likely see the crew of the titular spaceship free of the tyranny of Captain Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons). This will be a first for the Charlie Brooker-created series, as so far all Black Mirror episodes have been closed stories — apart, of course, from the odd reference here and there. But, considering how different the show has proved it is willing to become from its former self in last year’s Season 6, it sure makes sense for such a shift to occur. And, all things considered, if Black Mirror is going to bring back some of its characters, there are none worthier than the guys aboard the USS Callister.
