Netflix has released the trailer for Season 7 of Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror anthology series, and it’s already boasting several connections to prior Black Mirror installments.
Largest among them is the fact that we’re getting a sequel to Season 4’s “U.S.S. Callister,” making this the first time Black Mirror has done a direct sequel. Original cast members Cristin Milioti, Billy Magnussen, Milanka Brooks, Osy Ikhile, and Jimmi Simpson will all reprise their roles.
The trailer also reveals another connection, this time to the interactive special Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, as Will Poulter and Asim Chaudhry both appear to be returning as their Bandersnatch characters. Could we be getting two Black Mirror sequels in one season?
The rest of the trailer teases “six electrifying stories,” from a black-and-white world populated by AI to Peter Capaldi as what appears to be some kind of cult leader. Black Mirror Season 7’s cast also includes Awkwafina, Emma Corrin, Patsy Ferran, Paul Giamatti, Lewis Gribben, Rashida Jones, Siena Kelly, Rosy McEwen, Chris O’Dowd, Issa Rae, Paul G. Raymond, Tracee Ellis Ross, Harriet Walter, Michele Austin, Ben Bailey Smith, Josh Finan, James Nelson-Joyce, Jay Simpson, and Michael Workéyè.
Catch them all in action above, and brace yourselves for dystopian dread.
Black Mirror Season 7 premieres April 10 on Netflix.
