Black Mirror Returning at Netflix as Charlie Brooker Begins Work on New Episodes

The renewal follows awards momentum for Season 7, with no release window or casting details announced.

Overview

  • Netflix confirmed the continuation via a Tudum conversation with creator Charlie Brooker, who said the series "will return" and that writing is underway.
  • Outlets are referring to the pickup as Season 8, though Netflix’s wording stopped short of labeling it as such.
  • No timeline, episode count, plot specifics, or casting information has been provided by Netflix or Brooker.
  • Season 7, released in April 2025, earned three Golden Globe nominations and previously received 10 Emmy nods, boosting the show’s profile going into awards weekend.
  • Brooker likened planning the next run to assembling an album with varied tones, while he also continues developing a separate Netflix detective thriller following his and Annabel Jones’ exit from the Netflix-owned Broke & Bones banner.
