Black Mirror Renewed for Season 8, Because Technology Is Still Terrifying

The world hasn’t gotten any less dystopian, and so it makes sense that Netflix has greenlit Black Mirror for Season 8. No release date or episode count has been confirmed for the dark anthology series, which has been a Netflix staple since its third season, but creator Charlie Brooker says that “That chunk of my brain has already been activated and is whirring away.”

The seventh season of Black Mirror featured episodes starring Awkwafina, Peter Capaldi, Emma Corrin, Paul Giamatti, Rashida Jones, Billy Magnussen, Cristin Milioti, Chris O’Dowd, Issa Rae, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jimmi Simpson, and Harriet Walter. It also featured both spiritual and direct sequels to numerous Black Mirror episodes — some of which were more successful than others, as our ranked list of every episode reveals.
