Black Mirror season 7 trailer and release date – New Zealand
The modern media and tech landscape continues to horrify in the new season of the acclaimed SF anthology.
Take a break from our bleak, media-poisoned present with a six-pack of speculative stories about our bleak, media-poisoned future. That’s right, it’s time for another season of Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror.
When is Black Mirror season 7 being released in New Zealand?
Black Mirror season seven is streaming in New Zealand exclusively on Netflix from April 10, 2025.
What is Black Mirror season 7 about?
Excellent question, mon frere, but we can only speak in broad generalisations. Since it first hit our screens (the very things that inspired the title, as it happens) back in 2011, Black Mirror has given us a veritable pick ‘n’ mix of ghastly visions of possible futures or alternative presents (well, and San Junipero—everyone likes that one). Taking its cues from the media and technology trends of today and extrapolating them to extreme and often satirical degrees, it’s kind of like if cyberpunk forerunner William Gibson wrote for The Twilight Zone (complimentary), as opposed to like when cyberpunk forerunner William Gibson wrote for The X-Files (derogatory).
We’re getting six episodes this season, and all we know for sure is that one of them is a follow up to the 2017 episode USS Callister, marking the first time an episode has gotten a sequel.
The cast of Black Mirror season 7
This season expect to see the likes of Awkwafina, Issa Rae, Paul Giamatti, Billy Magnussen, Tracee Ellis Ross, Milanka Brooks, Peter Capaldi, Emma Corrin, Patsy Ferran, and Lewis Gribben. But as to who they’re playing, your guess is as good as ours.

Why we’re excited about Black Mirror season 7
Well, let’s face it: having set “the horrors of modern technology” as the parameters of the series, creator Charlie Brooker is hardly going to run out of material any time soon, is he? Sure, there have been variations in quality over the years—that’s just the nature of anthology TV (and serialised TV as a whole, really). But as long as the human race keeps inventing new things to torture itself with, and Brooker keeps writing, we’ll keep watching.
