Charlie Brooker’s Acclaimed Tech-Focused Series Returns To Netflix On April 10
Mar 31, 2025
Next month sees the grand return of Charlie Brooker‘s acclaimed and popular series “Black Mirror” return to Netflix, as the show enters its seventh season. Taking shots at politics, digital spaces, social media, war, love, and societal norms, the satirical world explores the dark side of technology, with many stories focusing on digital copies of humans, referred to as cookies, and how often they are exploited.
Netflix has dropped a new season seven trailer, highlighting the new episodes, which feature a direct sequel to the “Star Trek” parody “USS Callister,” with Cristin Milioti back in the role of Nanette Cole (a cookie forcably placed in sci-fi universe by a stalker, Robert Daly, who abuses the ship’s crew) after co-starring in the hit HBO comic book series, “The Penguin.”
