Black Mirror” Season 7 is almost here — and with an all-star cast.

The trailer for the latest installment in Charlie Brooker’s anthology series teases the sequel to the sci-fi adventure “USS Callister.” Cristin Milioti, right off her buzzy turn in “The Penguin,” reprises her role for the second arc of the episode alongside Billy Magnussen and Jimmi Simpson. The trio previously starred in the 2017 “USS Callister” episode with Jesse Plemons and Michaela Coel, which also featured the voice of Aaron Paul and an uncredited cameo by Kirsten Dunst.

New guest stars also include Will Poulter, Jay Simpson, Michael Workéyè, James Nelson-Joyce, Josh Finan, Asim Chaudhry, Ben Bailey Smith, and Michele Austin.

The “Black Mirror” Season 7 cast additionally includes the previously announced Awkwafina, Milanka Brooks, Peter Capaldi, Emma Corrin, Patsy Ferran, Paul Giamatti, Lewis Gribben, Osy Ikhile, Rashida Jones, Siena Kelly, Rosy McEwen, Chris O’Dowd, Issa Rae, Paul G. Raymond, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Harriet Walter.

Season 7 of the dark satire anthology series will have six brand-new episodes. Brooker created the series, which he executive produces along with Jessica Rhoades and Annabel Jones. Broke & Bones serves as the production company.

Brooker previously told The Hollywood Reporter that it was “really odd” how prescient his series is, especially with the Season 6 “Joan Is Awful” episode that seemingly predicted AI programs like ChatGPT.

“I must have written it in June-July in 2022. When we shot it, it was September-October. It was just before ChatGPT launched,” Brooker said in 2024. “I think it was about a week later that ChatGPT came out and suddenly, everyone was talking about generative AI and how all creative jobs were going to be replaced, pushed out or automated.”

He added, “When the ChatGPT conversation caught fire and when it became a huge issue because of the strikes, I was slightly wiping my brow with relief that we got the episode out before. The timing of it was surreal. Hopefully, it added to the conversation.”

“Black Mirror” Season 7 premieres April 10 on Netflix. Check out the trailer below.
