The dark satire anthology series 'Black Mirror' created by Charlie Brooker will make a comeback for a seventh season in 2025, as announced by the streaming platform on Thursday.
The upcoming installment will consist of six new episodes produced by Jessica Rhoades and Annabel Jones alongside Brooker. The return of the USS Callister, a spaceship once commanded by Captain Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons) will be included. The sci-fi adventure sequel will continue after the events of Daly's death.
The sixth season of the dystopian show premiered on Netflix in June 2023 and has been renewed for the upcoming season in November. The streamer has set a November renewal for the upcoming season. Elsewhere, Jamie Dornan has been cast to portray identical twins Adam and Lee in 'The Undertow,' a Netflix series from Complete Fiction. Mackenzie Davis will play Adam's wife Nicola. The show is based on the Nordisk Film Production AS television series 'Twin,' created by Kristoffer Metcalfe. Production for this series will take place in the Scottish Highlands and Islands later this year.
A new series called 'The Choice' will commence filming in the spring of 2024, set to arrive on the streaming platform in 2025. Suranne Jones and Julie Delpy will take on the roles of the British Prime Minister and French President in the UK series. They will be joined by 'Queen Charlotte' breakout Corey Mylchreest, Lucian Msamati, Ashley Thomas, James Cosmo, and Jehnny Beth.
The series will feature Suranne Jones as the recently-elected British Prime Minister Abigail Dalton, who is facing a healthcare crisis while also serving as an executive producer. Vivienne Toussaint (Delpy) is the first female French president campaigning for re-election. The two women are heading to a summit to negotiate and address their respective issues.
Corey Mylchreest will play Toussaint's stepson Matheo Lewis, Msamati will portray Dalton's Chief of Staff Kofi Adomako, while Thomas will depict Dalton's doctor husband. Cosmo will take on the role of Max Dalton, her ailing father, and Beth will play Toussaint's Chief of Staff Adrienne Pelletier. When Dalton's husband gets kidnapped, their fierce rivalry could hinder their efforts to unite and thwart the plot that threatens them both.
