Black Mirror creator says second USS Callister will pick up where first finished
The new seventh season will feature stars such as Guardians Of The Galaxy’s Will Poulter.
Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker has said the highly anticipated follow-up to the show’s popular USS Callister episode will see its characters thrust into an online multiplayer game, picking up where the first finished.
The dystopian drama series returns to Netflix on Thursday for its seventh season, with episodes about “mind expanding” technology, violent video games and artificial intelligence (AI), as well as the sci-fi sequel.
USS Callister, from the show’s fourth series which aired in 2017, saw its characters at the centre of a tale about a sci-fi video game and misuse of power.
Speaking about the follow-up, Brooker said: “The original USS Callister follows a brilliant young coder called Nanette Cole, played by Cristin Milioti, who gets a job at a company called Callister which makes a video game which was created by a genius called Robert Daly, played by Jesse Plemons, who we discover in the first episode, is quite a troubled individual.
