The characters ofBlack Mirrorseason 7 are definitely put to the test as they each are affected by technology in dark and mysterious ways. The trailer shows Rashida Jones sharing a pitch for cereal that isn’t ordinary at all.

In May 2024, showrunner and creator Charlie Brooker gave an interview toThe Hollywood Reporterand was asked if he could talk about the seventh season. He said:
“I’d love to. But I’m pretty sure I can’t or shouldn’t. There’s so much I could say. I think I can say that we just wrapped on “Callister,” and we’ve just started on another one… I’m always excited about all of them, but I think we have a really good mix… And we are doing something really cool right now that we’ve never done before — but I can’t say what it is.”
All six episodes ofBlack Mirrorseason 7 willarrive on Netflix on April 10th, 2025, and it will be cool to see these new creepy stories about technology, including the “Bandersnatch” and “USS Callister” sequels.
