Picture: Netflix
Over the past week, small teases for the seventh season of Netflix’s flagship series Black Mirror have been released. After rumors of an April 2025 release date, that’s now been into reality with the streamer confirming the dystopian series’ big return for all six episodes on April 10th.
In recent days, Netflix has been updating the Black Mirror page with new assets and adding just a few of the big names set to feature in season 7 to the overall cast list on the show. As already announced, 80 cast members will feature in the seventh season, including Awkwafina, Peter Capaldi, Asim Chaudhry, Emma Corrin, Patsy Ferran, Paul Giamatti, Lewis Gribben, Rashida Jones, Siena Kelly, Rosy McEwen, Cristin Milioti, and Chris O’Dowd.
Netflix announced several new cast members today, with most returning from the interactive special Bandersnatch, including:
- Michele Austin (Hard Truths)
- Ben Bailey Smith (David Brent: Life on the Road)
- Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing)
- Josh Finan (Say Nothing)
- James Nelson-Joyce (The Outlaws)
- Will Poulter (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3)
- Jay Simpson (Pride & Prejudice, The Holiday)
- Michael Workéyè (This Is Going to Hurt)
A release date has been imminent for a while, following some new pictures and cover art going up on the Netflix page for Black Mirror. This included a new note, written in binary, of course, that, when translated, says: You’re Not Ready.
If you happen to be in Paris or London in the coming weeks you have a chance to catch the show’s creator Charlie Brooker and executive producer Jessica Rhoades speaking and providing an exclusive first glimpse in the coming weeks. The pair will present the show at SERIES MANIA in late March and at BFI Southbank in early April.
