It appears that the next sequel episode of Black Mirror season 7 will be a witty spoof of Star Trek Into Darkness from 2013. Black Mirror has examined the dark side of modern technology and the realm of dystopian science fiction since its 2011 premiere. While many of Black Mirror’s best episodes concentrated more on the good and bad effects that technological advancements have on human civilization, some of the show’s worst episodes leaned more toward its horror genre. Season 7 of Black Mirror is expected to be no exception.
But in its seventh season, the critically praised Netflix hit will alter its formula in key ways. As the anthology series premieres its first sequel episode, Black Mirror season 7 aims to try a daring feat. “USS: Callister: Into Infinity” is a follow-up to “USS Callister,” the first episode of season 4, which is a warning story about how Jesse Plemons’s violent game programmer, Robert Daly, is ousted by digital clones of his coworkers that he made. Throughout the majority of the episode, Daly abuses his coworkers’ clones on the titular ship, which ultimately results in their murder of his self.
What will Black Mirror Season 7 be about?
Although there are currently few details available, one episode unequivocally reveals a sequel to Season 4’s USS Callister, in which Milioti and Simpson will return sans Michaela Coel and Jesse Plemons.
