Black Mirror season 7: Release date, trailer, latest news

Alongside the season 7 release date, we've also been treated to a few details about what certain episodes might consist of, including one emotional piece called Hotel Reverie.

Here's everything we know so far!

Black Mirror season 7 release date

Black Mirror season 7 will be released on 10th April 2025.

All of the episodes are expected to land at once in Netflix's usual release style, and it's been confirmed that Charlie Brooker, Jessica Rhoades and Annabel Jones will be back as executive producers once again.

Black Mirror season 7 was confirmed in November 2023, with more and more details being released since.

Production was first confirmed to have started in September 2024, but given the quick turnaround, it is possible filming started sometime before this.

What could the plot of Black Mirror season 7 be?

Of course, we're expecting season 7 to continue Black Mirror's signature anthology style, with one story per episode.

In general, creator Charlie Brooker has teased the new episodes will be "a little bit OG Black Mirror", something fans will no doubt be excited about.

He added to Tudum: "It’s back to basics in many ways. They’re all sci-fi stories — there’s definitely some horrifying things that occur, but maybe not in an overt horror-movie way. There’s definitely some disturbing content in it."

But what about the specific episodes?

One episode will be a sequel to the season 4 episode USS Callister, which followed a space mission unlike any other.

A short synopsis for the new episode reads: "USS Callister will return... Robert Daly is dead, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their problems are just beginning."

It's the first time Black Mirror has produced a sequel episode, so all eyes will be on it to see just how it works.

Another episode seems to be connected to a previous story too, as Will Poulter and Asim Chaudhry are returning as their Bandersnatch characters.

Chaudhry said of returning: "Charlie is a twisted genius in the best possible way. It’s always fun being part of this incredible, messed-up world that he’s created! I’m really excited for fans to see this episode. It might be a familiar world we are revisiting, but maybe even more screwed up if that’s possible."

Meanwhile, Poulter said: "It’s always so fun. [Charlie] writes such spectacular episodes, and I was so grateful that he brought Colin back."

One of the more emotional episodes appears to be Hotel Reverie, a black-and-white episode that pays homage to classic Hollywood cinema and stars Emma Corrin and Issa Rae.

As revealed by Empire, Corrin plays 1940s movie star Dorothy Chambers, while Rae plays contemporary A-lister Brandy Friday, who is inserted into a simulated world derived from a Hollywood classic via Redream technology. This allows a struggling film studio to bolster its chances of a box office hit by using AI.

Hotel Reverie is said to be similar in style to San Junipero.

Peter Capaldi also teased some details about his episode. The Doctor Who actor told NME: "I'm at an age now where every time I do a job, there's a younger version of me! There's always a scene where the older version talks about the younger version, and then we go back and see the younger version. There is an older version of me and a younger version, and we get embroiled with that…"

We're still waiting for more information on further episodes – here's hoping we'll know more soon!

How many episodes will be in Black Mirror season 7?

Black Mirror season 7 will consist of six episodes, all focused on a different story.

Season 5 had three episodes, plus interactive special Bandersnatch, and season 6 had five episodes.
