After a nearly two-year-long wait, Black Mirror is back with a new season on Netflix!
Black Mirror is one of the most renowned and beloved series across all genres. The expert combination of speculative fiction, sci-fi, and horror has been capturing viewers’ attention and exposing their fears since 2011.
Season seven promises a new lineup of inventive scenarios set in the near future, where humanity and technology meet.
Each episode provides a mind-bending plot full of surprising twists. There are deeply emotional moments, there are creepy moments, and there are straight-up terrifying moments.
We've got all the details about the star-studded season seven of Black Mirror.
USS Callister: Into Infinity
One of the most exciting features of season seven is a sequel to a fan favorite episode from season four. The original episode, "USS Callister," won four Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Television Movie, and was nominated for three more.
The episode stood out from other installments of Black Mirror because of its space setting and its inclusion of overt comedy moments.
Both the original episode and the new sequel are set on a Star Trek-like starship that exists within an extensive virtual reality massively multiplayer online game.
Many of the original cast members have returned for "Into Infinity" and will take to the stars once again.
