Get ready to question humanity’s control over the technology that surrounds us. Netflix Black Mirror is in progress. Today, the official Black Mirror X-Page has revealed the cast for the new season coming next year, along with other intriguing hints and Easter eggs.
The video shows an old flickering computer screen that appears to be loading a complete data dump of the entire cast of season 7. Among the names that jump out at us are Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti, Doctor Who Star and Oscar winner Peter Capaldi (1995 for Best Live Action Short Film) “It’s a Wonderful Life” by Franz Kafka), Awkwafina, Issa Rae, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Rashida Jones.
The list also includes the cast who played the fictional crew of the USS Callister in the iconic fourth season episode of the same name. Names from the USS Callister episode who appeared on the list include Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson, Billy Magnussen, Milanka Brooks, and Ossie Ikiel.
We’ve known for a while now what series creator Charlie Brooker has planned: In the opening episode of season four, he is joined by the chief technology officer of a top-tier game studio, Star Trek-Wind TV Program StarfleetBy day, pushed around by his coworkers and staff and receiving little recognition for the company’s success, he uses immersive virtual reality technology to play as Starfleet Captain Robert Daly. Robert leaves his job on a virtual spaceship, venting his frustration and anger in increasingly cruel and inhuman ways on his crew, who have been cloned into the game using the DNA of his superiors and staff, which Robert has obtained without their permission or knowledge. The crew mutiny and flee onto the internet, but an angry “Captain Robert” is left behind in the game.
Of course, this is not true. Black Mirror The game wouldn’t be revealed without the teaser containing hints and hidden items. The loading screen shows the studio’s name, Tuckersoft, an interactive games studio. The film. The cast is listed alphabetically by first name, but in eight groups. Between the scrolling group names are a few cryptic phrases, such as “Too early?”, “A rose for a rose,” and “Shields 58 percent.”
Are these episode titles? The latter is definitely a reference to the USS Callister, and Brooker and company love iconic episode titles taken from songs from their tech-hell stories, like “Shut Up and Dance” and “Hang the DJ.” Black Mirror The episode hasn’t even been released yet and it’s already got us scratching our heads.
