The new season got a cryptic video on X/Twitter, which teased some of the cast members and a few other names that could be writers or directors of the episodes.
Last November, Variety exclusively reported that Netflix had renewed “Black Mirror” for a seventh season; the show was set to go into production later that year.
Season 6 of the hit sci-fi anthology series, created by Charlie Brooker, dropped on Netflix in June 2023 after a four-year hiatus. According to the streamer, that season racked up 11.3 million views in its first four days of availability.
The sixth season, which consisted of five parts, featured a star-studded cast including Aaron Paul, Annie Murphy, Himesh Patel, Josh Hartnett, Kate Mara, Michael Cera, Rob Delaney, Rory Culkin, Salma Hayek Pinault and Zazie Beetz, among others. It consisted of five episodes: “Joan Is Awful,” about an AI-generated TV show; “Loch Henry,” where filmmakers get sucked into a true-crime thriller; “Beyond the Sea,” a body-swapping sci-fi tale; “Mazey Day,” a paparazzi horror story; and “Demon 79,” the first “Red Mirror” supernatural episode. Season 5 was comprised of only three installments and starred Andrew Scott, Anthony Mackie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Topher Grace and Miley Cyrus.
“Black Mirror” first premiered in December 2011 on Channel 4 in the U.K., and was purchased by Netflix ahead of the third season in 2016. Before its hiatus between Seasons 5 and 6, the series garnered 14 Emmy nominations and took home eight Emmys, including for outstanding TV movie for “San Junipero,” “USS Callister” and “Bandersnatch” in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively.
