There are some who think our current dystopian world has made Black Mirror irrelevant. Reality is already stranger (and worse) than anything fiction can imagine. So, what do we need a show like Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror for? What’s there even left to say about the possibilities of a terrifying future when that future is already here? To those people, we say this: watch the fantastic new episodic trailer for season seven of Black Mirror. Because it doesn’t matter if the anthology series no longer presents a darker vision for humanity than the one we’re already living in. What matters is it’s still going to be wildly entertaining and emotional.

Black Mirror Season 7 Release Date
If this is how you found out we’re getting a USS Callister sequel, you’re welcome. But that means you probably also need to know when season seven premieres. Black Mirror returns on April 10, 2025. Hopefully, our world won’t be nearly as dark and upsetting as the show by then. But even if it is, at least we’ll have six new episodes to help us ignore it.
