As a gamer, I’m excited to share that in the upcoming installment, you’ll see stars like Osy Ikhile from Citadel, Billy Magnussen known for his role in Road House, Paul G. Raymond famous for Horrible Histories, along with Milanka Brooks, Patsy Ferran, Lewis Gribben, Siena Kelly, and Rosy McEwen joining the scene!

Although the entire cast list has been disclosed, the streaming platform hasn’t specified the characters each actor will play yet, however, they have announced that Black Mirror Season 7 is being filmed at present.

In a recent conversation with Deadline, the show’s creator, Brooker, hinted that one of the forthcoming episodes could be the darkest one in the series so far.

He shared with the publication that he penned a single script, which many found to be one of the most emotionally intense, depressing pieces yet. Additionally, there are episodes with technical themes and ones that evoke tears. So, it’s hoped that it offers a complete emotional experience, but time will tell. Ultimately, the audience will decide its impact.

Black Mirror season 7 will return to Netflix in 2025.
