More instalments of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror could be in the works.
In a groundbreaking move, the seventh season of Charlie Brooker's acclaimed anthology series, Black Mirror, will see the first-ever sequel to one of its episodes. The new season, which includes "USS Callister: Into Infinity," will be released on Netflix on April 10.
"USS Callister," a standout episode from Season 4, will continue its narrative in the upcoming sequel. The digital clone characters from the original return, with Cristin Milioti and Jimmi Simpson reprising their roles. This marks a significant departure from the show's usual self-contained episodes.
Brooker, the creator of Black Mirror, has expressed his interest in revisiting older episodes and creating sequels if the concepts remain engaging and viewers continue to engage. This suggests that other episodes could potentially be candidates for continuation beyond the currently confirmed "USS Callister" sequel.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Brooker hinted at the possibility of a sequel to the Season 7 opener. However, no other specific episodes have been officially confirmed for sequels yet. The show's anthology format and Brooker’s openness to revisiting past stories imply that the door is open for sequels to episodes with strong narrative potential or fan interest.
Brooker has compared the process of ordering the episodes to sequencing an album, requiring tonal breaks. He initially thought "San Junipero," another popular episode, or "Playtest" should be the opener for the first season on Netflix, but Netflix chose "Nosedive."
Despite the excitement surrounding the "USS Callister" sequel, fans are left wondering what other episodes might get a continuation in the future. With Brooker's encouragement to watch the episodes in the order they're curated for the full Black Mirror experience, viewers can expect a thought-provoking and suspenseful journey through the new season.
