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.

Jackpot! is set in the near future, where the popular show Grand Lottery offers a multi-billion-dollar fortune—while also letting people kill the winner before sundown to legally claim their jackpot.

Katie Kim (Awkwafina) mistakenly finds herself with the winning ticket in her possession after moving to Los Angeles. She joins forces with an amateur lottery protection agent Noel Cassidy (John Cena) in an attempt to survive the hordes of jackpot hunters trying to kill her including Noel’s slick rival Louis Lewis (Simu Liu).

In addition to Awkwafina, Cena, and Liu, the cast of this action comedy will also include Murray Hill (Somebody Somewhere), Seann William Scott (American Pie), Dolly de Leon (Triangle of Sadness), and Ayden Mayeri (I Love That For You). It was directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids), while Rob Yescombe wrote the script.

Jackpot! will debut on Amazon Prime Video on August 15.
