Netflix has released the first trailer for the highly anticipated seventh season of Black Mirror, set to premiere on April 10th on the streaming platform. The show’s creator, writer, and showrunner, Charlie Brooker, had previously teased fans about what to expect, hinting at a season that would be “a bit ‘Black Mirror’-y,” but with new elements, perhaps not quite like typical horror films, yet still containing disturbing content. According to Radionica, this season promises to deliver the thought-provoking and unsettling narratives that the series is known for.
This new installment will also feature a sequel to the season 4 premiere episode, “USS Callister,” bringing back familiar faces such as Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson, and Billy Magnussen. The return of these characters has generated considerable excitement among fans, eager to see how their stories will unfold in this new context.
Returning to Tuckersoft
Will Poulter, who is also set to reappear, expressed his excitement about revisiting the world of Black Mirror. In a statement to Tudum, Poulter shared, “It’s always fun to step back into this familiar world, but perhaps even more messed up, if that’s possible. I think fans are going to really enjoy seeing this world again.” He also mentioned his enthusiasm for working alongside Chaudhry again and his eagerness for fans to see the new creations emerging from a secret Tuckersoft project.
Poulter’s remarks highlight the blend of nostalgia and novelty that this season aims to offer. The return to Tuckersoft, a setting that holds significance for long-time viewers, adds an extra layer of intrigue to the new season.
