There will be six chapters, including a sequel to USS Callister, the first episode of the fourth season.
Black Mirror returns to the USS Callister, scene of one of its most attractive episodes. Netflix confirmed today season 7 of the anthology of Charlie Brooker and Annabelle Jones and delivered a preview that will delight fans.
“The USS Callister will return… Robert Daly is dead, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their troubles are just beginning,” read the teaser, revealed at Netflix’s See What’s Next event in London.
USS Callister was the first episode of the fourth season of Black Mirror – the second on Netflix – and starred Jesse Plemons, Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson and Michaela Coel.
What USS Callister is about, the episode that will have a sequel in Black Mirror
The Emmy-winning installment was written by Brooker and directed by Todd Haynes and followed Daly (Plemons), a reclusive but talented programmer and co-founder of a popular massively multiplayer online game who is bitter about the lack of recognition of his position from his co-workers. Telling a story that evokes themes of fragile masculinity and the dangers of technology, Daly takes out his frustrations by simulating a Star Trek-like space adventure within the game, using his co-workers’ DNA to create sentient digital clones of them, with terrifying consequences.
There were no further details about Callister’s return, but Netflix said Brooker will create the final Black Mirror series and EP with Jones and Jessica Rhoades. Brooker and Jones’ Broke & Bones team continues to produce, with Banijay Rights handling distribution.
The sixth season of Black Mirror featured characters like Salma Hayek, Myha’la Herrold and Aaron Paul.
