Black Mirror Season 7 is set to return soon. Black Mirror is a British anthology TV series by Charlie Brooker. The show deals with different themes but mostly focuses on not-too-distant futures with advanced sci-fi tech.

The first two seasons of Black Mirror streamed on the UK's Channel 4 in 2011 and 2013. It was later released on Netflix, where it became a huge success. Each episode runs with big-name actors from Hollywood and deals with realistic problems but throws them in a surprising twist with sci-fi.

As per the latest updates, Charlie Brooker's dark satirical series is already locked up to secure six new episodes of Black Mirror Season 7 in 2025 on Netflix.

Among the big news about Charlie Brooker's smash anthology series, the new season will also incorporate a follow-up of the sci-fi previous episode titled “USS Callister” from season 4.

This was announced during the Next on Netflix event in the Picturehouse Central cinema in London. The event comprised Netflix executives and stars. It was there that the news broke out to the general public by the global streamer;

“Robert Daly is dead, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their problems are just beginning.”

Details about the next season of Black Mirror are still scarce. But one thing we know of is that one of the episodes of season 7 will pick up events from "USS. Callister" from Season 4.

That episode was based on the story of a game developer who made clones of his colleagues to torment in a hidden game. The clones later returned the favor but got stuck in the virtual world.
