Netflix today announced that the dark, satirical anthology series Black Mirror will return for season 7 with 6 new episodes in 2025, which will include a sequel to the sci-fi adventure episode “USS Callister” (season 4). It was also announced that Black Mirror season 7 is already in production, and they released a video about it (below).
While details of the new season aren’t yet available, Netflix did provide information on the “USS Callister” sequel episode via Tudum: “The high-profile episode starred Jesse Plemons as Robert Daly, a brilliant but troubled programmer who co-founded a popular online video game. Unhappy with a perceived lack of recognition at his gaming company, Robert created 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 took an unexpected and sinister turn.”
