There’s a lot of buzz surrounding each new season of Black Mirror, and its next chapter will be worth the wait. The ensemble cast of the show’s highly-anticipated seventh season has been announced, and it includes 19 new cast members, starting with Issa Rae, Awkwafina, Emma Corrin, and Rashida Jones.
In addition to Rae (Insecure), Awkwafina (The Farewell), Corrin (The Crown), and Jones (Parks and Recreation), Season 7 will also star Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who), Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers), Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish), Chris O’Dowd (The Big Door Prize), Patsy Ferran (Life After Life), Lewis Gribben (Somewhere Boy), Osy Ikhile (Citadel), Siena Kelly (Adult Material), Rosy McEwen (The Alienist), Harriet Walter (Succession), and Paul G. Raymond (Horrible Histories).
The show’s next season will also mark the return of Billy Magnussen, Jimmi Simpson, Cristin Milioti, and Milanka Brooks. They’ve previously starred in the Emmy-winning episode USS Callister, and Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker officially confirmed its sequel is on the way.
“Fans of the show will recognize the cast of a certain spaceship from one of our episodes reappearing. We’ve done a sequel for the first time in Black Mirror history. Normally, I kill off all the characters at the end of an episode, and I kept some of ’em alive. I’m growing as a human,” said Brooker during Netflix’s Geeked Week.
