What's New in Season 7?
Charlie Brooker, the mastermind behind Black Mirror, spilled some tea during the Geeked Week panel. Here's what we can expect:
Six mind-bending episodes: Two of which will be feature-length! More Black Mirror goodness to sink our teeth into.
A mix of genres and styles: Brooker promises some episodes will be "extremely unpleasant," others "quite funny," and some downright "emotional." Sounds like a rollercoaster ride of feelings!
Back to basics: The new season is returning to its roots with a focus on "pure sci-fi" and "techno-dystopia." Get ready for some serious Black Mirror vibes.
A first-ever sequel: Remember "USS Callister" from Season 4? Well, hold onto your spacesuits because we're getting a continuation of that story!
Brooker joked, "Normally I kill all the characters at the end of an episode, but I let some of them live. I'm growing as a person." We can't wait to see where this sequel takes us!
When Can We Watch It?
While we don't have an exact release date yet, Netflix has confirmed that Black Mirror Season 7 will drop sometime in 2025. Our bet? We'll be binge-watching these new episodes in the first half of the year. Keep your eyes peeled for more announcements in the coming months!
