Get Ready, Black Mirror Fans! Sequels and Spin-offs on the Horizon
Here's some exciting news for fans of the critically acclaimed anthology series, Black Mirror. The creator of the show, Charlier Brooker, has hinted that future seasons might revisit previous storylines, starting with the sequel "USS Callister: Into Infinity" in season seven.
During an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Brooker mentioned that revisiting old episodes is a possibility as long as they remain engaging and the viewing audience continues to appreciate the show. "We're now looking at old episodes and thinking, 'How could you revisit that idea?'" he said. "If it's interesting, I'm allowed to make it."
Since its debut, Black Mirror has been lauded for its dark and disturbing themes, making fans wonder which episodes would make for compelling sequels. Among the top contenders is the popular episode "San Junipero" from season three. While the episode might seem perfect as is, its popularity certainly warrants further exploration.
Interestingly, Brooker himself acknowledges the tough decision of selecting episodes for each season. "I'm often not the best judge," he admitted. "We did 'San Junipero' [and] some people thought that should be the opener. I felt like it was somewhat gentle, so I showed it to a friend, and she went, 'Oh my god. This is an absolute fucking nightmare.' Turns out it was accessible, and it was the best choice."
"USS Callister: Into Infinity" marks the finale of season seven. Even though fans eagerly anticipate catching up with Nanette Cole and her companions, it seems that Brooker hopes viewers will watch the episodes in the intended order to fully experience the Black Mirror ride. The new season streams on Netflix starting April 10.
Meanwhile, enthusiasm for Black Mirror continues as fans look forward to upcoming releases of popular franchises like Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek, as well as the future of Doctor Who and the DC Universe on film and TV. Stay tuned for more updates on your favorite shows and series!
