Each season of Black Mirror introduced us to a new star-studded cast, and Season 7 will stick to the winning formula. Netflix announced the cast of 19 new actors, including Issa Rae, Awkwafina, Emma Corrin, and Rashida Jones.
Black Mirror was one of Netflix’s shows highlighted during the recent Geeked Week, and its creator Charlie Brooker promised that the show’s next season would go back to basics.
“You can expect a mix of genres and styles. We’ve got six episodes this time, and two of them are basically feature-length. Some of them are deeply unpleasant, some are quite funny, and some are emotional,” Brooker told the audience.
He also confirmed the return of the cult episode USS Callister, which was teased by Netflix earlier this year. Billy Magnussen, Jimmi Simpson, Cristin Milioti, and Milanka Brooks will return as a part of its ensemble.
In addition to this amazing quartet, Season 7 will also welcome 15 newcomers to the Black Mirror universe, including such acclaimed actors as Issa Rae (Insecure), Awkwafina (The Farewell), Emma Corrin (The Crown), Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation), and Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers).
Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who), Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish), Chris O’Dowd (The Big Door Prize), Patsy Ferran (Life After Life), Lewis Gribben (Somewhere Boy), Osy Ikhile (Citadel), Siena Kelly (Adult Material), Rosy McEwen (The Alienist), Harriet Walter (Succession), and Paul G. Raymond (Horrible Histories) will also star across six new episodes of Season 7.
