The teaser for Black Mirror season 7 on Netflix has been released, and it shows significant ties to earlier episodes, including the first-ever direct sequel in the history of the anthology.

Six new dystopian stories will be included in the eagerly awaited season, which premieres on April 10 and promises the dark and provocative writing that fans have come to expect.

The most significant revelation is the reappearance of the highly regarded season 4 episode, U.S.S. Callister. For the first time in Black Mirror’s history, original cast members Jimmi Simpson, Osy Ikhile, Milanka Brooks, Billy Magnussen, and Cristin Milioti are returning to their roles.

Additionally, the trailer hints at a tie to Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, with Will Poulter and Asim Chaudhry appearing to reprise their roles from the interactive special. This raises the possibility of two Black Mirror sequels in one season.

A monochrome AI-driven universe and Peter Capaldi portraying what seems to be a cult leader are just two of the dark, avant-garde tales hinted at in the trailer. Awkwafina, Emma Corrin, Paul Giamatti, Rashida Jones, Issa Rae, Chris O’Dowd, and Tracee Ellis Ross are among the many celebrities in the season’s cast.

Fans can get ready for another in-depth look at technology, ethics, and the unpredictabilities of the future as Black Mirror season 7 is scheduled to premiere on Netflix next month.
