Black Mirror season 7 is back with more twisted technology tales as we explore the dark world of modern inventions such as AI, social media and more.
Creator Charlie Brooker teased significant details while speaking at Netflix's Geeked Week event (quotes via Tudum). He promised a mixture of "genres and styles" in the new series.
"We've got six episodes this time, and two of them are basically feature-length. Some of them are deeply unpleasant, some are quite funny, and some are emotional."
"We have evolved to a place where it's kind of OG Black Mirror this season. So it's all sci-fi, techno-dystopia."
In Black Mirror season 6, we saw six new episodes set in various locations and times including Northern England in 1979 and an alternative in 1969 where two men undertook a perilous mission in space.
Here is everything we know...
