We are pretty lucky to know at this point that a Black Mirror season 8 is coming to Netflix. With that in mind, when are we going to hear more?

Well, one unfortunate reality at this point is that if you love the dystopian sci-fi series, waiting can be quite the challenge. After all, filming often happens in as quiet a fashion as possible, and you rarely hear anything about casting unless Charlie Brooker and the streaming service want for that to be the case. Maybe that will happen over the next several months but at present, there is not much in the way of news to speak of.

Is there any chance we get a return for the show before the year is over? Never say never, since there is a chance that it transpires before the end of the year. If it happens, though, we imagine it will be closer to the end of the year and it will not be anytime soon.

If there is anything we can say about the show this month…

We do get the sense that Black Mirror will continue to be more sci-fi focused, and not dive back into some of the horror leanings that they had with the “Red Mirror” episodes a couple of seasons back. Brooker has noted that he is open to doing more sequel stories like he did with “USS Callister: Into Infinity” (pictured above), but we would not be off somewhere assuming that this is some sudden guarantee. It really comes down to there being a good idea for it and beyond that, whether or not a lot of the cast is going to be available for more.
