Netflix confirms fate of Black Mirror after six seasons on screens and string of shock cancellations
NETFLIX has confirmed the fate of Black Mirror after axing five shows in the wake of Hollywood strikes.
Fans of the gritty sci-fi will be delighted to hear the show made the cut, and will be renewed for a seventh season.
The show is known for exploring the relationship between humans and technology, and has even been said to 'predict the future' with some uncanny episodes that gave a glimpse into gadgets that had not been invented yet.
Black Mirror disappeared from screens for four years during the Covid pandemic, with some fans speculating that real life had become too dystopian for the show to work.
But the sixth season came back with a bang earlier this year, shooting to the Top 10 most viewed Netflix shows globally.
Now Variety has confirmed a new season of the show has been greenlit and is expected to go into production later this year.
