‘Black Mirror’ returns with Season 7: release date, episode plot and more

‘Black Mirror’, Netflix’s acclaimed sci-fi series, has kept viewers on the edge of their seats with its disturbing and visionary stories, which are now returning for another season.

Season 7 is on the way, the platform made the exciting announcement a few days ago through a short video on social networks, and while we don’t have all the details yet, here’s what we know so far:

“Black Mirror” Season 7 Chapters and Plot

Season 7 will consist of six episodes, as is customary in this production. However, specific plot details for each episode have yet to be revealed.

It is expected that we will finally see the rumored sequel to the first episode of the fourth season, called: “USS Callister”, one of the most praised episodes of the season 4, since the announcement of Netflix says: “Six new stories, but one “It seems a little familiar”.

In the short video you can also see the image of an airplane, so some of the chapters could take place inside one of these aerial vehicles.

Charlie Brooker, the show’s creator, has expressed an interest in exploring genres beyond technology, as he did in Season 6, which delved into the horror genre. This could include horror episodes under the “Red Mirror” label, which debuted in the episode “Demon 79”.

The series will continue to surprise and defy expectations, as it has done since its inception. Brooker has made it clear that he does not want to limit himself to predictable technological issues.

Of course, “Black Mirror” fans can expect more dystopias, unexpected twists and deep thoughts about technology and society next season.

What was the episode “USS Callister” about, which will be a sequel to “Black Mirror” season 7?

Captain Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons) is a brilliant and reclusive programmer who works for a video game company. His most notable creation is a space simulation game called Infinity. However, his real life is quite gray and monotonous.

In the game, Dali becomes the captain of the spaceship USS Callister, where he has complete control. He uses his power to create digital clones of his colleagues, trapping them in the game and forcing them to live lives of suffering and obedience. The clones, who believe they are real crew members, cannot escape and are subject to Dali’s twisted rules.

The story takes a turn when Nanette Cole (Cristin Milioti) joins Daly’s team. Unlike the others, Nanette is unwilling to accept her fate as a mere character in the game. Together, she and other clones plan to rebel against the tyrannical captain.

“USS Callister,” a chapter inspired by “Star Trek,” deals with themes such as identity, morality, and the abuse of power. The line between reality and simulation is blurred, and the lingering question is: what does it mean to be free in a digital world?

Ultimately, the episode makes us ponder the ethics of creating and controlling digital life. Who is the real villain here: the developer or his creation? A disturbing reminder that even in virtual worlds, cruelty and oppression can prevail.

The cast of “Black Mirror” season 7.

Although we don’t know the full details of the casting yet, we can expect some impressive stars. In previous seasons, Salma Hayek joined the cast, so we can expect more surprises.

Of course, we know Netflix would make the effort to bring the original cast from the first episode to the ‘USS Callister’ sequel, which includes Jesse Plemons, Cristin Milioti, Michaela Coel, Jimmi Simpson, Billy Magnussen, Milanka Brooks, among others. . .

The production of Black Mirror is complicated due to its anthology nature, but we will be watching to learn the names of the actors who will bring these new characters to life.
