With any season of Black Mirror, you know you’re going to be getting some familiar themes—namely, technology causing terror, unease, nightmares, and very occasionally artificial bliss—but in the show’s current Netflix era, you’re also getting an A-list cast to go with all those “the grim future is now” fears. The streamer just shared a new trailer for Black Mirror‘s six-episode seventh season, along with a release date (April 10), and some new names joining what was already a ridiculously talented cast.
“Dream a little dream of… uh-oh?”
As we already knew, season seven of creator Charlie Brooker’s series will feature a sequel to popular season four episode USS Callister, and we also already knew much of season seven’s jaw-dropping cast: Awkwafina, Milanka Brooks, Peter Capaldi (looking especially greasy in that trailer), Emma Corrin, Patsy Ferran, Paul Giamatti, Lewis Gribben, Osy Ikhile, Rashida Jones, Siena Kelly, Billy Magnussen, Rosy McEwen, Cristin Milioti, Chris O’Dowd, Issa Rae, Paul G. Raymond, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jimmi Simpson, and Harriet Walter.
Well, you can add to that Will Poulter—who memorably starred in Black Mirror‘s interactive special, Bandersnatch, as well as Ben Bailey Smith, Asim Chaudhry, Josh Finan, James Nelson-Joyce, Jay Simpson, and Michael Workéyè.
Netflix isn’t revealing who’s in which episode yet or any plot details aside from the returning USS Callister crew, but it did share several first-look still images to go with the trailer. Here’s a handful for you to ponder.
Black Mirror season seven arrives April 10 on Netflix. Will you be tuning in… and freaking yourself out?
