We still don’t know much about the seventh season of Black Mirror, but at least the show’s return will have a stacked cast. Netflix announced a big list of actors who will appear in the next installment of the anthology when it premieres in 2025, and it includes Doctor Who alum Peter Capaldi, Barbie star Issa Rae, Sunny’s Rashida Jones, and the always delightful Paul Giamatti.

Here’s the full list:

Awkwafina
Milanka Brooks
Peter Capaldi
Emma Corrin
Patsy Ferran
Paul Giamatti
Lewis Gribben
Osy Ikhile
Rashida Jones
Siena Kelly
Billy Magnussen
Rosy McEwen
Cristin Milioti
Chris O’Dowd
Issa Rae
Paul G. Raymond
Tracee Ellis Ross
Jimmi Simpson
Harriet Walter

Of course, how these actors will figure into the new season remains unclear. Netflix hasn’t said anything about the storylines for the six-episode-long season, aside from the fact that there will be a sequel to the “USS Callister” episode from season 4 (which starred returnee Cristin Milioti).

The upcoming season of the anthology was first announced in March, and it follows season 6, which started streaming in 2023 following a long hiatus for Black Mirror. It featured a number of excellent episodes, including the prescient AI-focused story “Joan is Awful” and the dark sci-fi tragedy “Beyond the Sea.”
