Netflix Says Black Mirror Season 7 Will Be Ready To Drop In 2025
Hold onto your thinking caps, tech enthusiasts – Netflix is bringing back the chilling sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror for a seventh season in 2025, according to a report from The Verge. Creator Charlie Brooker’s brainchild will return with six brand new episodes, with a thrilling twist: one episode will act as a sequel to the popular season 4 premiere, “USS Callister.”
Black Mirror Season 7 Spoiler!
While details remain scarce, Netflix revealed a tantalizing detail about the “USS Callister” follow-up: “Robert Daly is dead, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their problems are just beginning.” This cryptic message hints at a continuation of the mind-bending themes explored in the original episode, which saw Plemons portray a tyrannical video game developer who trapped his employees’ consciousnesses in a simulated reality.
Black Mirror’s return marks a swift comeback compared to its previous hiatuses. Season 6 premiered just last year, delivering a diverse range of stories that both terrified and intrigued audiences. From the cosmic horrors of space to the unsettling world of celebrity obsession, and a chilling satire of the future of streaming services that feels eerily familiar, Season 6 proved Black Mirror hasn’t lost its touch.
With the ever-evolving landscape of technology, particularly the rise of artificial intelligence and the burgeoning metaverse, Season 7 is sure to offer fresh takes on the dark side of our digital world. While specific plot details remain under wraps, one thing’s for certain: Black Mirror is poised to once again hold a mirror to our tech-driven society, reflecting both its wonders and its potential pitfalls.
Just in case you haven’t watched the previous seasons or want a quick recap,
Here’s a quick rundown of each Black Mirror season:
Black Mirror Season 1 (2011)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 98%
Black Mirror explodes onto the scene with a bang. The Prime Minister is forced into a humiliating act, a talent show satirizes our obsession with entertainment, and memories become relivable – but at what cost? This season hooked viewers with its dark portrayal of technology’s potential pitfalls.
“White Christmas” (2014 Christmas Special)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 90%
This standalone Christmas special is a masterclass in bleakness. Three interconnected stories explore themes of loneliness, existentialism, and punishment, delivering a chilling and unforgettable narrative.
Black Mirror Season 2 (2013)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 88%
Building on Season 1’s success, Season 2 delivers emotional gut punches like “Be Right Back” (grief and technology) and the iconic “White Bear” (twisted reality and punishment). While the finale falters, the first two episodes are considered fan favorites.
Black Mirror Season 3 (2016)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 86%
With a Netflix move, Season 3 sees a budget boost. “Shut Up and Dance” is a gripping social commentary, and “Playtest” delivers horror-fueled thrills. Alex Lawther shines as a young man forced into absurd situations.
Black Mirror Season 4 (2017)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 86%
Parental control gone wrong, a dark twist on dating apps, and the chilling “Black Museum” solidify Season 4’s bleakness. However, the quality remains high, with “Crocodile” and “Black Museum” leaving viewers satisfied (yet terrified).
Black Mirror Season 5 (2019)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 67%
Season 5 is considered the weakest, with inconsistent quality. “Smithereens” explores digital addiction brilliantly, but overall, the season lacks the previous seasons’ brilliance. Andrew Scott’s performance remains a highlight.
Bandersnatch (2018)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 74%
This interactive film lets viewers choose the fate of the protagonist, making it a unique experience. While innovative, it doesn’t have high replay value. The psychological thriller elements and meta-storytelling were enjoyed by many.
Black Mirror Season 6 (2023)
Rotten Tomatoes Score: 77%
The latest season was divisive. Star power shines in episodes like “Joan is Awful” and “Beyond the Sea,” while “Demon 79” features familiar faces. Instead of typical tech dystopias, it transports modern anxieties to historical settings. The retro horror vibe is not for everyone, but hidden gems like Aaron Paul’s episode and “Joan is Awful” exist.
So, go catch up if you haven’t, and the rest of us can sit tight as we wait for Season 7 next year!
