Sci Fi TV News of Note

According to Charlie Booker, filming on Season 7 of Black Mirror is more than halfway complete which should have it on track for an early-to-mid 2025 premiere. It will consist of six episodes and one will be a sequel to fan-favorite “USS Callister”. A spin-off series based on that episode was announced a while back, so perhaps the Season 7 sequel ep will lead into that.

Last week I mentioned that filming was mostly complete on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 which should have it headed for a late-2024 or early-2025 premiere. As an additional update on the show, Anson Mount has indicated that filming on the fourth season will begin in 2025.

In scheduling news, Syfy has set July 17th as the premiere date for The Ark Season 2.
