Return to the USS Callister
One of the most anticipated episodes is “USS Callister: Into Infinity,” a sequel to the Season 4 opener “USS Callister.” This episode will see the return of original cast members, including Cristin Milioti and Jimmi Simpson, as they continue their journey in a simulated reality aboard a spacecraft.
Bandersnatch Continuation
Another sequel titled “Plaything” will tie back to the interactive film “Bandersnatch.” This episode centers on an elderly man, portrayed by Peter Capaldi, involved with a mysterious 1990s video game and an unsolved murder. Will Poulter reprises his role as Colin Ritman from “Bandersnatch,” adding depth to this intriguing narrative.
Star-Studded Cast

Creator’s Insights

They’re all sci-fi stories — there’s definitely some horrifying things that occur, but maybe not in an overt horror-movie way.” This approach aims to recapture the essence of the series that has captivated audiences worldwide.
Release Details
All six episodes of “Black Mirror” Season 7 will be available for streaming on Netflix starting April 10, 2025. Fans can look forward to a mix of genres and styles, with some episodes being feature-length, offering a diverse viewing experience.
