The series ‘Black Mirror’ has been renewed for an eighth season

Netflix to continue popular science fiction anthology

Streaming service Netflix has confirmed that the cult dystopian anthology Black Mirror will return for an eighth season. This information was confirmed by the show’s creator and screenwriter, Charlie Brooker. ‘Well, fortunately, it has a future, so I can confirm that Black Mirror will return, just in time for reality to catch up with it,’ Brooker said. ‘That part of my brain is already activated and working hard.’

The announcement followed the success of the seventh season, which topped Netflix’s global ratings immediately after its release in April 2025 and received three Golden Globe nominations, including Best Miniseries or Television Film. When asked about his creative approach, Brooker compared each season to a separate music album. ‘I often think, “What haven’t we done yet, and what tone am I looking for?”’ the author shared. The specific release date for the eighth season of Black Mirror, as well as the number and themes of the episodes, have not yet been revealed. However, Brooker’s statement leaves no doubt: work on new technological nightmares that reflect our reality has already begun. Translated from DeepL.com (free version)
