Los Angeles: Charlie Brooker's satirical anthology series will return with its seventh season, featuring a new star-studded cast of Awkwafina, Peter Capaldi, Emma Corrin, Paul Giamatti and Rashida Jones.

Created and show run by Brooker, "Black Mirror" is sci-fi show, which is set in a twisted, high-tech near-future where humanity's greatest innovations and darkest instincts collide.

The six-episode season is currently in production by streaming service Netflix.

“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.

Brooker teased that one of the six chapters from the new installment will be a sequel to "USS Callister", the Emmy-winning episode from season four.

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 recognize 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 a episode, and I kept some of ’em alive. I’m growing as a human," Brooker said.

The seventh season of "Black Mirror" will stream on Netflix in 2025.
