News Black Mirror Black Mirror Will Return to Netflix for Season 8 Charlie Brooker says reality might catch up to it by then. By Molly Templeton | Published on January 9, 2026 Image: Netflix Comment 0 Share New Share Image: Netflix Black Mirror isn’t ending any time soon—and creator Charlie Brooker says that hopefully, the just-announced eighth season will be “more Black Mirror than ever.” (If you are currently envisioning the Roomba with the knife, but maybe with more knives, you are not alone.) The most recent season of Black Mirror earned the show several Emmy nominations, including one for Best Television Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television, and acting nominations for Rashida Jones (for “Common People”) and Paul Giamatti (for “Eulogy”). Most of Netflix’s announcement about season eight is actually a Q&A with Brooker about season seven. He has a hard time picking a favorite from the season, but says, “I am really proud of ‘Common People.’ I think that it’s haunting, and it’s vicious as a piece of satire. When I gave that script to one of our producers, he said, ‘That is the distilled essence of Black Mirror.'” Asked to discuss the future of the show, Brooker says only, “Well, luckily it does have a future, so I can confirm that Black Mirror will return, just in time for reality to catch up with it. So, that’s exciting. That chunk of my brain has already been activated and is whirring away.” He’s also working on what he calls “a deeply profound and profoundly serious crime thriller” for the streamer, though I remain a little bit skeptical about the sincerity of that one.
