Black Mirror's seventh season trailer invites you to escape dystopia for dystopia
Black Mirror returns to Netflix with more horror stories about advertising, a sequel to Bandersnatch, and a return to the U.S.S. Callister.
Being a Luddite never seemed more appealing. With the world spiraling into techno-fascism, the fine folks at Netflix are holding up another season of Black Mirror, reflecting our real-world misery back to its audience. Knowing that we only have television to look forward to, one of the tech overlords filling our black mirrors with content, the streamer has released an episodic trailer laying out the seven tales of technological terrors coming to Netflix next month.
The episodes include more tales of terror about not opting for the ad-free version of your dead wife’s resurrected consciousness, a machine that lets you look into your best memories, and sequels to Bandersnatch and “USS Callister,” sans the stars people liked from that.
Here are the episode titles, casts, and synopsis:
“Common People,” starring Rashida Jones, Chris O’Dowd, and Tracee Ellis Ross.
“When a medical emergency leaves school teacher Amanda fighting for her life, her desperate husband Mike signs her up for Rivermind, a high-tech system that will keep her alive – but at a cost….”
“Bête Noire” starring Siena Kelly, Rosy Mc McEwen, Michael Workéyè, and Ben Bailey Smith.
