After four years of waiting, Netflix finally released Black Mirror Season 6 in June 2023. However, four months have passed, and the streamer has yet to give any update about Black Mirror Season 7. Now that the series seems to have changed its tone, focusing more on humans than the technology and the future it used to, will Netflix still renew the show?
Despite the change of tone, it can’t be denied that Black Mirror has remained one of the most iconic series on Netflix since it began. From the creative minds of Charlie Brooker, the show has stunned viewers with its bold take on speculative fiction, coupled with themes of technology and media to address modern social issues. However, as critics say its quality is already declining over time, it remains to be seen if there will still be Black Mirror Season 7.
Loyal Black Mirror fans know it takes a long time before new seasons arrive. Viewers waited four years to see new episodes after the fifth season’s release in 2019. It didn't even see a sixth season renewal until April 2023 and surprised fans with a fast-approaching release date instead. Hence, the same could be said for Black Mirror Season 7.
Will Netflix renew Black Mirror for Season 7?
So far, Netflix has yet to renew Black Mirror for a seventh season. But despite the lack of news, fans should never be worried at all. It’s common for the service not to release any renewal news for its biggest titles until its new season is already in the works.
Take it from the show’s sixth season: before Netflix gave any official news about the series, third-party sources, like Variety and Deadline, usually gave updates first. It’s also good to note that the streaming giant hasn’t officially canceled the anthology series, so there’s still hope for a new season.
Hence, despite the latest season’s poor reception, it can’t be denied that the latest episodes still managed to keep fans hooked. Aaron Paul’s episode, Beyond the Sea, has become a new fan-favorite, proving the show hasn't lost its original touch. That said, fans may see more of these futuristic and retro-futuristic tales and more when Black Mirror Season 7 comes.
