The much-anticipated British television series Black Mirror returns to Netflix for a seventh season, promising to immerse fans once again in its iconic, dystopian worlds replete with futuristic technology.

After a two-year wait, the award-winning series, created by British writer Charlie Brooker, will air six new episodes, including a sequel to the fourth season’s USS Callister episode — a space epic inspired by the Star Trek universe.

“There are a few episodes that are quite unpleasant,” Brooker said last month at a festival in the northern French city of Lille.

He added they were more like the “OG Black Mirror”, referring to the earlier seasons which often explored disturbing scenarios driven by technology.

“There's quite a lot of emotional ones [episodes]... So, it's a mix, which is kind of what you'd expect from Black Mirror, of the familiar and the unexpected,” added Brooker.
