Is ‘Black Mirror' returning for season 8? Everything we know so far

Black Mirror, the critically acclaimed sci-fi anthology series created by Charlie Brooker, has kept audiences on edge with its chilling, thought-provoking tales about technology and society. With Season 7 premiering on Netflix on April 10, 2025, fans are already buzzing with questions about the future. Is Black Mirror returning for Season 8? Here's everything we know so far. Has Black Mirror Been Renewed for Season 8?
As of April 2025, Netflix has not officially confirmed Black Mirror Season 8. However, this lack of announcement isn't cause for alarm. The series is known for long gaps between seasons, with Season 6 arriving four years after Season 5 due to production complexities and the COVID-19 pandemic. Season 7 was ordered in November 2023, six months after Season 6's premiere, suggesting Netflix typically takes time before announcing renewals. When Could Season 8 Be Released?
Given Black Mirror 's production timeline, Season 7 took approximately 17 months from order to release. If Netflix greenlights Season 8 in late 2025 or early 2026, a release could be expected around mid-2027. However, the anthology format, requiring unique stories and casts, often leads to longer production times. Fans may need to brace for a wait similar to the four-year gap between Seasons 5 and 6.

‘Everyone Does Botox': Lindsay Lohan Gets Honest About Beauty Standards In Hollywood
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When Lindsay Lohan made her big return to acting in 2022 with the Netflix holiday rom-com, Falling for Christmas, fans all over the world hoped that she would not only continue to bring us new characters, but step back into some old ones, as well. Now that we are well into the 2025 movie schedule, and getting closer to the release of Freakier Friday (which brings her together with Freaky Friday co-star Jamie Lee Curtis again), she's been talking about coming back to the profession that made her famous while promoting the upcoming film. Now, Lohan's opening up about beauty standards in Hollywood. Even though Lindsay Lohan has already admitted to being a bit 'jealous' of the young stars who are coming up today, the former child star would likely confirm that one thing hasn't changed much, and that's the Hollywood beauty standard. People (and women in particular) in the entertainment industry are pretty much still expected to look as young, thin, and fashionable as possible when not in character, a fact that has led to much negative commentary about how stars like Selena Gomez, Kelly Clarkson, and many others look. In speaking with Saturday Night Live star Chloe Fineman (who has a role in Freakier Friday) for Elle Magazine, the topic turned to beauty standards when the Just My Luck leading lady noted that she's currently working on a line of beauty products (much like the aforementioned Gomez, whose Rare Beauty has made her a billionaire). That admission led to this quick exchange: Lohan: Everyone does Botox. Fineman: Last night at dinner, I was with somebody, and they're like, 'I've never had it.'And I was like, 'What? Are you kidding?' Lohan: Who are you? It's like, 'You lie.' I know a lot of people, even those who don't face near constant public scrutiny about their appearance, have had Botox. Many of us simply do not want to be wrinkled or to appear to have physically aged at all, despite the fact that everyone will do just that at some point. However, it hadn't really occurred to me that it would be so hard to buck the Botox trend in Hollywood that it's seemingly impossible to come upon someone in the industry who hasn't experimented with using the substance to erase as many wrinkles as possible at least once. Stars have begun to speak out about unrealistic beauty standards, and Lohan's co-star, Oscar winner Jamie Lee Curtis has been among them. In 2023, after singer Karol G came out against her heavily retouched GQ cover, Curtis spoke up about how things like that hurt all women and contribute to us feeling ashamed of ourselves. Other stars have done similar things in recent years, like Florence Pugh discussing how harshly women's bodies are judged, Halle Berry talking about 'challenging' stereotypes of older women, and Demi Moore revealing the 'tremendous gift' of aging. Speaking of that beauty line that Lohan is developing, Fineman did ask for more info on how she takes care of her own health and beauty when the Mean Girls star admitted to being 'crazy about my skin and health.' Lohan added: Oh, God, I don't even know how to answer that. I drink this juice every morning. It's like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple. I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water. I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything. My skin care is very specific. I'm trying out some serums now that I'm doing—I'm testing them. Also, I'm a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up. I drink lemon juice a lot; I also put tons of chia seeds in my water. Eye patches, I do every morning. I'm into lasers. Honestly, all of that sounds fine to me except the lasers. They've been used to clear up a number of skin concerns, like acne and, yes, even wrinkles, but I'll just have to turn into an old bog witch eventually if that's the best way to stop one from looking old. And, you know what? I'm totally fine with that. It'll probably finally keep the neighborhood kids out of my yard once they get a look at me.

‘Ginny & Georgia' Season 3 Teases Arrest Aftermath and Mother-Daughter Drama: Everything We Know
Ginny Miller and Georgia Miller will return to Netflix for season 3 and fans will learn Georgia's fate after she was arrested during the season 2 finale for the murder of Tom Fuller (Vincent Legualt). Life & Style breaks down everything to know about Ginny & Georgia season 3, including the trailer, premiere, episode list and more. 'What happens when everything falls apart?' Antonia Gentry, who portrays Ginny, narrated at the beginning of the teaser. 'The rug can be pulled out from under you in a second.' Quick clips flashed throughout the trailer, including a moment when Ginny sat next to her dad, Zion Miller (Nathan Mitchell), brother Austin Miller (Diesel La Torraca) and stepfather Mayor Paul Randolph (Scott Porter) on a court bench, seemingly during Georgia's court date. Georgia, played by Brianne Howey, was arrested for the murder of Cynthia Fuller's late husband, Tom, who was in a coma during season 2. Whether it was temporary or permanent, the family matriarch was released from behind bars and sat in a bedroom while asking someone, 'Don't you wanna ask me if I did it?' Meanwhile, Georgia will attend her high school prom alongside her besties Maxine Baker (Sara Waisglass), Abigail "Abby" Littman (Katie Douglas) and Norah (Chelsea Clark). 'I'm not a bad person. It's all about perception,' Georgia said as she flashed a smile during her court hearing. Joe, Ginny's boss and owner of Blue Farm Cafe played by Raymond Ablack, appears in an intense scene, leading fans to wonder if his unfinished storyline with Georgia will come full circle. 'That one second clip of Joe had me SCREAMING and kicking my feet. I hope we get more of him this season,' one person wrote in the comments section of the post. Fans rejoiced in the series for not only having an entertaining storyline, but also showing just enough scenes in the trailer. 'THIS is how you do a teaser y'all. Short, but gripping and thrilling, yet it gives almost no spoilers away. Everything about this show has really stepped up since the first season,' one person wrote in the comments section of the April 2025 YouTube video. A third added, 'This season is about to be so good. This 30 second teaser really got me excited for what I'm about to see and I've been waiting for this for like two years.' The full Ginny & Georgia season 3 trailer was released on May 8, 2025, and offered a closer look at what's to come. In one scene, Ginny lamented to Max about everybody at school staring at her while her mother awaited her murder trial. However, as Max pointed out, 'Your college essay writes itself.' Another scene showed Georgia's lawyer telling her that being found guilty of first-degree murder meant life in prison without the possibility of parole. The clip flashed to a courtroom, where a judge told Georgia, 'You will be on house arrest. You will be monitored with an ankle bracelet until trial.' As the tensions rose throughout the trailer, scenes flashed of Max telling her friends that she's worried about Ginny and Georgia experiencing a panic attack. 'Everyone thinks I'm a violent, unhinged monster,' she could be heard saying in a voiceover. Elsewhere, she said, 'I'm not a bad person. But if you come face to face with bad, you become a little bad yourself.' 'I don't want my mom to go to prison,' Ginny later said. Netflix hyped up fans by releasing the upcoming season's episode list. 'The official Season 3 Episode titles are here! Each title is a line of dialogue said in the episode,' the official Ginny & Georgia Instagram account captions the April 29, 2025, post read. 'Titles and more updates can be found in the link in bio!' The season will kick off with episode 'This Wouldn't Even Be a Podcast,' followed by 'Beep Beep Freaking Beep,' 'Friends Can Dance,' 'The Bitch Is Back,' 'Boom Goes the Dynamite,' 'At Least It Can't Get Worse,' 'That's Wild,' 'Is That a Packed Lunch?,' 'It's Time For My Solo' and 'Monsters.' Ginny & Georgia season 3 premieres on Netflix on June 5, 2025.
