After a prolonged nearly two-year break, Black Mirror Season 7 is set to make its highly anticipated debut on Netflix this Thursday. Since the streaming giant acquired the series during the second season in 2015, Black Mirror has consistently captivated audiences with its thought-provoking narratives and chilling sci-fi themes. With the release of an interactive film and five successful seasons, the series has evolved, particularly following the improved reception of Season 6, which featured five episodes in 2023. As we approach the 2025 season, expectations are high for what lies ahead.
The excitement surrounding Black Mirror Season 7 has intensified following Netflix’s release of a tantalizing trailer showcasing an impressive cast and the return of beloved characters from previous seasons. Notably, fans can look forward to a sequel to the acclaimed Season 4 episode “USS Callister.” Additionally, Will Poulter is set to reprise his role as Colin Ritman from the interactive film, Bandersnatch. Alongside these familiar faces, Season 7 promises to introduce a range of original stories and characters that are sure to intrigue audiences when they launch on April 10.

Number of Episodes in Black Mirror Season 7
How Season 7 Compares to Previous Seasons
Black Mirror Season 7 will consist of six episodes, which is a slight increase from the previous season’s five episodes and significantly higher than the three episodes featured in Season 5. While a limited number of episodes may seem unusual for many series, this format aligns with the show’s tradition, making Season 7 comparable to its longest runs in Seasons 3 and 4.
The episodes for this season are:
- Common People
- Bête Noire
- Hotel Reverie
- Plaything
- Eulogy
- USS Callister: Into Infinity
While most episodes present fresh narratives, the episode “Plaything” will notably bring back Will Poulter’s character from Bandersnatch, exploring themes surrounding a nostalgic 1990s video game. Additionally, “USS Callister: Into Infinity” reintroduces Cristin Milioti and others from the beloved “USS Callister” episode, further deepening the series’ interconnected storytelling.
