Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror anthology series will return for a Season 7 at Netflix, as the streamer renews the show five months after premiering its sixth season.

The five-episode season, released in June 2023 after a four-year hiatus, featured a star-studded cast including Salma Hayek, Annie Murphy, Aaron Paul, Josh Hartnett, Ben Barnes and Paapa Essiedu. Season 5 was even shorter, comprised of only three instalments and starred Andrew Scott, Anthony Mackie, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Topher Grace and Miley Cyrus.

No casting has been confirmed yet for Season 7 but Variety, who broke the news of Black Mirror’s renewal, reports that the show is set to go into production later this year with Brooker, Annabel Jones and Jessica Rhoades believed to be returning as executive producers. Plot details and the number of episodes are still being kept under wraps. Regardless, it’s safe to assume Black Mirror Season 7 will contain its usual blend of existential angst, prescient social commentary, and talented actors.

There are currently 27 episodes of Black Mirror across six series and one special (2014’s White Christmas), in addition to the interactive film Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. The first two series aired on Channel 4 in 2011 and 2013, before moving to Netflix for a further four seasons released in 2016, 2017, 2019, and 2023.
