Earlier this month, Netflix revealed that Black Mirror was returning with a trailer that hinted at the themes of each of the novel six episodes from the anthology series. Today, the streamer honored a Black Mirror tradition and released a novel trailer that reveals the titles of each episode and provides an overview of what we can expect from them. Additionally, every episode has its own poster, which you can check out in this article. The series is set to return on April 10.
The trailer for the novel Black Mirror episodes makes it clear that AI will be a substantial theme, which makes perfect sense given what the show is about. The season will kick off with “Common People,” an episode that starts with a tragedy: Amanda (Rashida Jones) goes to the emergency room and while she fights for her life, her husband Mike (Chris O’Dowd) signs her up to utilize a high-tech system called Rivermind. Once she gets back home, Amanda discovers that she will pay a high price for using Rivermind: ads keep playing in her head, and she says them out clamorous. The episode also features Tracee Ellis Ross (Blackish).
Then it’s time for a little intrigue with “Bête Noire,” which sounds like the most mysterious episode of the season. In it, Maria (Siena Kelly) gets distraught when her former schoolmate Verity (Rosy McEwan) is admitted into the company she works at and does sinister things that nobody else seems to notice. In “Eulogy,” Paul Giamatti (Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale) will play a man who discovers a software that allows users to step inside photographs to revisit joyful moments — but he might not find what he’s looking for.
‘Black Mirror’ Season 7 Will Feature Surprising Returns
Issa Rae (Barbie) is a Hollywood star in “Hotel Reverie,” which centers around the remake of a British vintage film. The only thing is, to star in the remake, Brandy (Rae) has to interact with AI constructions, and she meets Dorothy (Emma Corrin). “Plaything” will be a murder investigation with a video game twist. The episode features Asim Chaudhry (Industry) and Will Poulter (Death of a Unicorn), who were both in the Black Mirror interactive movie Bandersnatch. This time, however, their eyes are focused on a game in which you monitor cute and artificial lifeforms.
Last but not least, the season will wrap up with the first-ever sequel episode titled “USS Callister: Into Infinity.” Once again, we will follow Nanette Cole (Cristin Milioti) and her crew after they get trapped in a virtual universe. It might get tough to escape, since it’s the five of them against 30 million players. The episode will be one of the longest in Black Mirror history, with a runtime of 1 hour and 28 minutes. It will be a minute shorter than the Season 3 episode “Hated in the Nation.”
