It seems like yesterday when Black Mirror came into our lives to put them outside down. But now, it wasn’t yesterday — it was 2011. But after all these years, the shocking TV show feels as poignant and necessary as ever. It challenges our perception of new technologies, of what’s to come, and how our behaviour can be affected by it (generally, in a negative way). Today, Netflix releases the trailer of season seven, out on the 10th of April.
Even if the three-minute long sneak peek feels like a sci-fi movie, Black Mirror’s new season will be comprised of six different stories. Exhilarating, alarming, jaw-dropping, philosophical — all of these and more is what we expect them to be. Especially since the cast of actors is brimming with talent: Emma Corrin, Issa Rae, Tracee Ellis Ross, Peter Capaldi, Paul Giamatti, Rashida Jones, Cristin Milioti, Will Poulter, and Awkwafina are some of the names confirmed to bring to life new fantasies-cum-nightmares.
