“You can expect a mix of genres and styles. We've got six episodes this time and two of them are basically feature-length. Some of them are deeply unpleasant, some are quite funny and some are emotional," Brooker said at the event.
“We have evolved to a place where it's kind of OG Black Mirror this season. So, it's all sci-fi, techno-dystopia," he added.
The cast for season seven also includes Milanka Brooks, Patsy Ferran, Lewis Gribben, Siena Kelly, Billy Magnussen, Rosy McEwen, Cristin Milioti, Chris O’Dowd, Issa Rae, Paul G Raymond, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jimmi Simpson and Harriet Walter.

Milioti, Simpson, Magnussen and Brooks had featured in the space-ship themed episode along with Jesse Plemons and Michaela Coel.
“Fans of the show will recognise 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 them alive. I’m growing as a human," Brooker said.
The seventh season of "Black Mirror" will stream on ‘Netflix’ in 2025.
