Black Mirror season seven is currently in production and The Hollywood Reporter released some information about what’s in store for viewers of this popular anthology series. 

They spoke with series creator and writer Charlie Brooker who says they are halfway through filming the latest season, “it’s all quite mad right now,” he told the trade publication. 

 “We’re at the point where you finish some of the episodes, and you are shooting another one, and prepping another one. They’re all different, all with different directors and casts. So this is the point where my head is a bit … I’m under a lot of fun pressure. It’s a nice job to have, at the end of the day.” 

He can’t say much about what’s in store for viewers, he is keeping spoilers between himself and Netflix. But he teases a returning Black Mirror sci-fi favorite that was popular among fans of season four. 

“There’s so much I could say. I think I can say that we just wrapped on Callister, and we’ve just started on another one. I’m really excited. I’m always excited about all of them, but I think we have a really good mix. I’m about to start writing the last one, which actually is terrifying because I probably should have written it several weeks ago! We have a real mix of things, really exciting castings that have happened. I don’t want to jinx it by saying too much. We’re in the bit that I really like, where you’ve locked an episode, so that’s such a good feeling. We’re doing the final polishing of the score and the mix on one of them. And we are doing something really cool right now that we’ve never done before — but I can’t say what it is.”

The past season of Black Mirror featured a segment called “Joan is Awful,” a meta take on the future of A.I. in entertainment, a bone of contention between striking actors and studio execs during the actor’s strike that started just a month after it premiered on Netflix . Brooker says predicting the future through his storytelling has happened before.

“A couple of times on the show, there’s been something I’ve written and then something similar happens in the real world similar-ish,” he says. “Narcissistically, you start to feel like, ‘This is too big a coincidence. I feel like I’m living in a simulation.’”

Season seven of Black Mirror is scheduled to drop sometime in 2025.
