Black Mirror is finally back, complete with a stellar cast and more dark, thought-provoking stories.
This season has the most episodes yet, which means even more satirical twists and turns than before. Look out for Succession's Harriet Walter, Will Poulter, Issa Rae, Awkwafina and many, many more.
Praise be. Here's everything we know so far.
“We’ve got six episodes this time, and two of them are basically feature-length," creator Charlie Brooker told Netflix's TUDUM. "Some of them are deeply unpleasant, some are quite funny, and some are emotional.”
Here's what we know so far about Black Mirror season 7.
Black Mirror season 7 plot
Here's a taste of each episode to come:
Synopsis: "When a medical emergency leaves schoolteacher Amanda fighting for her life, desperate husband Mike signs her up for Rivermind, a high-tech system that will keep her alive — but at a cost."
Starring: Chris O’Dowd, Rashida Jones and Tracee Ellis Ross.
Synopsis: “Maria is a high-flying development executive at a chocolate company. Everything is going well for her until someone she hasn’t seen since school — a woman named Verity — shows up for a focus group tasting session. It could be the chance for a heartfelt reunion, except there’s something very odd about Verity, and Maria seems to be the only person who notices.”
Starring: Siena Kelly, Rosy McEwen, Michael Workéyè, Ben Bailey Smith, Amber Grappy, Ravi Aujla, Elena Sanz and Hanna Griffiths.
Synopsis: “Hollywood A-list actor Brandy Friday is thrown into an unusually immersive high-tech remake of a vintage romantic movie. She’s got to stick to the script if she ever wants to make it home.”
Starring: Emma Corrin, Issa Rae, Awkwafina, and Harriet Walter.
Synopsis: “An eccentric loner named Cameron, who harbors an obsession with a mysterious 1990s video game, is arrested in connection with a grisly cold case — and his interrogation soon goes to places the police weren’t expecting.”
Starring: Peter Capaldi, Lewis Gribben, James Nelson Joyce, Michele Austin, Will Poulter and Asim Chaudhry.
Synopsis: “An innovative system that enables users to literally step into photographic memories of the past leads a lonely man to re-examine a heartbreaking period in his life.”
Starring: Paul Giamatti and Patsy Ferran.
Synopsis: “Robert Daly is dead, but the crew of the USS Callister — led by Captain Nanette Cole — find that their problems are just beginning.”
Starring: Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson, Billy Magnussen, Milanka Brooks, Osy Ikhile and Paul G. Raymond.
The final episode is a sequel to Black Mirror's opening episode for season 4 named USS Callister, which is a first.
“Fans of the show will recognise the cast of a certain spaceship from one of our episodes reappearing,” Brooker told Netflix's TUDUM. “We’ve done a sequel for the first time in Black Mirror history. Normally, I kill off all the characters at the end of an episode, [but] I kept some of ’em alive. I’m growing as a human.”
