Due toBlack Mirror’s lengthy hiatuses between seasons, sometimes fans think that the show got canceled and Netflix simply didn’t announce it yet. However,the anthology series is still going strong, with Season 7 in production and programmed to debut in 2025. But how far will it go? In an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, series creatorCharlie Brookertalked about the longevity of the stories he created.
Due to its nature —standalone episodescovering different themes and mostly having technology as the only common thread — there’s virtually no limit to the kind of stories thatBlack Mirrorcan tell. During the interview, Brooker underscored this and suggested that he’s still pretty interested incoming up with new storiesand themes for the show. So how long can he keep doing this? He explained:
“I don’t know, because like I said, I’m in a really, really fortunate position where I get to write this stuff, and it gets made, and I get to work with amazing people who also make me look better. And I love every minute. The editing is my favorite, actually. And there’s so much variety, so it’s in many ways inexhaustible. I’m sure I’ll find out when we’re not doing any more seasons! It will be made apparent to me at some point, I’m sure. But I’m in it for the long haul. I’m not going anywhere.”
How Can ‘Black Mirror’ Keep Going?
The good thing aboutBlack Mirrorcontinuing on is that Brooker has the chance to keep expanding and playing with the concept. In Season 6, Brooker decided to go meta anddid one episode that featured Netflix itself, not to mention episodes that were more focused on horror stories. In Season 7, for the first time ever,Brooker will do a sequel episodeand teased that more surprises could be in store.
Considering that Season 7 is only slated to premiere in 2025, it may be a while before we get further details of the six upcoming episodes from the series. Netflix tends to keep the plots of all episodes under wraps, but they usually hint at thrilling details when the premiere date starts inching closer. For now, however, we can only get hyped up aboutthe little information that has been announcedand celebrate that it seems like the series will keep onmessing with our headsfor a long time.
Netflix will debut Season 7 ofBlack Mirrorin 2025. A specific release window is yet to be announced by the streamer, but stay tuned at Collider for further updates! Previous seasons ofBlack Mirrorare currently available on Netflix.
