Good news for fans of the dark and thought-provoking series Black Mirror: Season 8 is confirmed and coming to Netflix! Creator Charlie Brooker announced the news on the TUDUM website. Building on the success of recent episodes – which featured stars like Paul Giamatti, Rashida Jones, Chris O’Dowd, Peter Capaldi, and Emma Corrin – Brooker is eager to continue the show’s momentum after finding his creative spark again. While seasons 5 and 6 received mixed reviews, episodes like “Striking Vipers” and “Loch Henry” were particularly well-received.
The creator of Black Mirror has confirmed the show will be back, and they’re aiming for it to be even more thought-provoking than before. They feel confident about the show’s future, especially as real-world events continue to mirror the show’s themes. When starting a new episode, they like to brainstorm by asking themselves what hasn’t been explored yet, what kind of mood they’re aiming for, and how the story will fit within the overall ‘album’ of the series. One thing’s for sure: don’t expect a lighthearted, country-western style Black Mirror episode anytime soon.
This year, both Jones, for his role in “Common People,” and Giamatti, for “Eulogy,” received Golden Globe nominations for their acting. The show Black Mirror is also nominated, competing for Best Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Television Movie. Its competitors include The Girlfriend (Prime Video), Dying for Sex (FX), The Beast in Me and Adolescence (both Netflix), and All Her Fault (Peacock).
‘Black Mirror’s Cristin Milioti Addresses ‘USS Callister: Into Infinity’ Ending
Netflix
The news of the show’s renewal follows comments from actress Cristin Milioti about the Season 7 episode, “USS Callister: Into Infinity,” which continues the story from the highly-regarded Season 4 episode, “USS Callister.” In the episode, her character, Captain Nanette, wakes up in a hospital and discovers her digital self has merged with her real body, giving her control. Even more surprisingly, the other digital minds on the Callister ship can now experience the real world through Nanette and communicate with her via a phone.

I really appreciate how the ending isn’t neatly resolved. While the characters escape one bad situation, they immediately find themselves in another equally frightening one. As Milioti explained to MovieWeb, it’s just a completely different set of circumstances now.
Honestly, the show really gets under my skin, and I love it! It’s not about immediate danger, but it makes me really question what kind of life that would be. Would you want to be stuck in a room, forced to witness someone else’s most private moments every single day? It’s unsettling because these characters have absolutely no control over their situation. And now, on top of everything, she’s got this… thing happening that feels genuinely disturbing. What’s even more worrying is that she doesn’t seem as desperate to fix things anymore, which just leaves you wondering what that means for everyone involved. I’m fascinated by how this person, after experiencing the trauma of essentially two lives in one body, will navigate the world. It’s just…creepy and twisted, in the best way possible.
