After a 2-year break from Netflix, Black Mirror Season 7 returned on the platform, wooing fans worldwide. Season 7 consisted of 6 episodes featuring big names like Awkwafina, Peter Capaldi, etc. It aired on Netflix in April 2025, but the exact release date of Black Mirror Season 8 is still unknown. But there have been some activities on social media that hint at an impending new season.
Black Mirror Season 8 Cast
There have been rumours about an upcoming Black Mirror Season 8 on social media, but as of July 2025, neither Netflix nor the show’s team has confirmed anything yet. If you have watched the 6-episode-long Season 7, you must already be excited about what’s coming next. Hopefully, by the end of 2025, we will receive some official update from Netflix.
Season 7 of Black Mirror performed really well after its release in 2025. The show was in Netflix’s Top 10 list for 5 weeks, receiving 161.9 million viewing hours, or 26.3 million views. The preceding Season 6 viewership was 20% higher than Season 7, but Black Mirror has consistently maintained good viewership over the years.
Black Mirror Season 7 star cast included names like Rashida Jones, Emma Corrin, Tracee Ellis Ross, Lewis Gribben, Osy Ikhile, and many more. Season 7 also pays homage to another successful episode of Season 4, Episode 1, USS Callister. The sequel is a part of Season 7, and the viewers loved it.
Black Mirror Season 8 Release Date
While touring for Black Mirror Season 7, the show’s creator, Charlie Brooker, was asked several times about the possibility of Season 8. He has been answering those questions very diplomatically. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Brooker said, “That’s down to people watching the show, watching it again, watching it a third time, watching it a fourth time to check that was the right decision.” In another interview during the same time, the creator said, “I’m in it for the long haul. I’m not going anywhere,” giving his show’s fans a hope for the future.
Since the release of Black Mirror Season 5, subsequent seasons have consistently seen a gap between releases. After Season 5’s release in 2019, viewers had to wait for another four years for Season 6, which premiered in 2023. So, when Season 8 is going to be released next is impossible to predict for now.
Where To Watch Season 8 of Black Mirror?
The excitement for Black Mirror Season 8 can be felt among global viewers. Many have inquired about the Netflix team’s release date for the show’s Season 8 on their social media platforms. The enduring craze for Black Mirror has consistently proven fruitful for Netflix, as evidenced by the success of previous Black Mirror releases. So, we can expect an official announcement in 2025 or early 2026.
As always, once the Season 8 trailer is out, you can watch it on both Netflix’s preview and on the OTT’s official YouTube page. As we all wait desperately, you can rewatch the previous seasons, including Black Mirror Season 7, on Netflix.
