The series may have lost a bit of its shock value and lustre as reality steadily proves to be far more absurd than anything Charlie Booker can conjure, but Black Mirror season 7 is now set to hit Netflix in 2025 all the same.
The real headline, however, isn’t the fact that the satirical anthology is returning. It’s the fact that the forthcoming instalment will revisit one of the show’s most memorable episodes, right next to season 3’s San Junipero and Bandersnatch: USS Callister.
As a quick refresher, the season 4 opener starred Jesse Plemons as Robert Daly — your typical brilliant-but-socially-maladjusted programmer who is the creator of a popular online video game.

Rob takes his real-life frustrations (i.e. the lack of recognition at his own company) out on a simulated reality within said online game, assigning himself the role of a heroic, Captain Kirk–like figure aboard a starship. He’s supported by an adoring crew…based on his actual co-workers.
Things take a dark turn when it’s revealed these digital copies of his colleagues — portrayed by an all-star cast of Cristin Milioti, Michaela Coel, Jimmi Simpson, and more — are revealed to be sentient. They eventually plot to free themselves from Rob’s suffocating control.
Currently, Netflix has yet to confirm any further details about Black Mirror season 7 beyond the USS Callister sequel and the broad release window of 2025.
