'Black Mirror' Season 7 Is Going to Revisit More Than Just "USS Callister," So What Does That Mean for the Show?

Two years ago, the widely popular sci-fi thriller anthology Black Mirrortried to soft-launch its "Red" counterpart that would dive into the world of bloody horror. However, the confusing reception of that particularly experimental season made the creators rethink their approach, and this year they return with a season that sticks closer to its dark technological roots. The recently dropped trailer shows us familiar segments of advanced technology holding a dark, frightening grip over humans, but it also suggests Season 7 will be dipping its toes into new waters. As series creator Charles Brooker told The Hollywood Reporter, this season they were doing something "that [they]’ve never done before," which is already confirmed by the recognizable faces who appear in the trailer, irrevocably tying this season to its past ones.
