The next Black Mirror season brings Paul Giamatti, Awkwafina, Peter Capaldi, and a sequel to USS Callister

As part of its Geeked Week festivities, Netflix is giving us our earliest glimpses at what to expect from Black Mirror Season 7 with a look at its next lead cast. Coming in 2025, the dystopian scifi anthology will return with some huge names headlining its next set of episodes, like Crazy Rich Asians's Awkwafina, Doctor Who's Peter Capaldi, and Paul Giamatti from all the things that've given us the privilege of getting to watch Paul Giamatti.

Netflix also confirmed that we'll be getting a follow-up to a fan favorite episode from Season 6: USS Callister, which featured a deeply-unsettling performance from Jesse Plemons as a disgruntled game dev employee who acted through his psychosexual frustrations by commanding his simulated coworkers as the captain of an elaborate Star Trek VR roleplay. Netflix hasn't given any details on what the sequel episode will entail, but I'm sure it'll be unpleasant. But, you know, in a good way. Can't wait!

Revealed via a cryptic teaser that you can watch on Netflix's Tudum site—itself a callback to Black Mirror's Bandersnatch—the lead cast includes more notable names like Rashida Jones from The Office and Parks and Rec, Tracee Ellis Ross from Black-ish, The IT Crowd's Chris O'Dowd, and more. Here's the full lead cast list: 

As for what the other episodes might feature, we can only guess. Who knows—maybe we'll see an echo of showrunner Charlie Brooker's prediction that Balatro on mobile will destroy global productivity.
