Black Mirror’s fan-favourite episodes could become a trilogy: “It’s so exciting”

Black Mirror‘s ‘USS Callister’ might turn into a trilogy.

The latest seventh season of the series “Black Mirror” ended with a 88-minute episode, named ‘USS Callister: Into Infinity’, which serves as a follow-up to the “Star Trek” tribute from season four.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, director Toby Haynes shared that after the first episode’s positive reception, plans were initially considered for the sequel to be developed into a complete television series.

He stated that it had been thoroughly planned out as a series, discussing the number of episodes and how many he could oversee. It was designed with the intention of being a mini-series.

Initially, Charlie Brooker delved deeply into the script, although the extent isn’t clear. At some stage, this was supposed to be the case, and it eventually evolved from the strikes into a standalone piece.

Although a complete series wasn’t developed, Haynes expressed his intentions to carry on the narrative with a concluding episode.

He clarified that one movie is a follow-up, not part of an ongoing series. Instead, it enhances the storyline in such a way that it provides an optimal structure for a science fiction journey.

Imagine us creating a unique science fiction trilogy set in the universe of ‘Black Mirror’. Can you think of anything more thrilling? If we manage to produce another installment, I’m eager to complete our trilogy!

As a devoted admirer, I’ve been thrilled to follow the turbulent evolution of the sequel episode, as revealed by the genius mind behind it all, Charlie Brooker. It seems this masterpiece didn’t exactly sail smooth seas on its way to its ultimate shape.

In a fascinating twist that hints at a potential continuation, I found myself remarking, “This tale [‘USS Callister’] seems to have been masterfully crafted with a sequel in mind.

After undergoing multiple transformations, we finally managed to expand it into a full-length episode within the season. It was quite a challenge putting everything in place – we faced the pandemic, a writers’ strike, and coordinating everyone’s schedules, which felt like solving a Rubik’s cube while riding a unicycle.

Black Mirror is streaming on Netflix now.
