Cult classic sitcom Green Wing has been resurrected as a podcast with the original cast and creative team.
Back in 2004, fresh from the success of sketch show Smack The Pony, writer Victoria Pile created Green Wing, a sitcom set in a hospital.
With an ensemble cast that included Tamsin Greig and Stephen Mangan – who would later reunite to star opposite Matt LeBlanc in Episodes – the comedy is helped enormously by committed clowning the cast, particularly Mark Heap and Michelle Gomez. The show ran for two series from 2004 to 2006 and, in a move more in common with American sitcoms, had a large pool of writers.
After the show ended, the same creative team made the terrific University comedy Campus in 2009, which despite only running for one series is well worth tracking down, especially for the tour de force performance from Andy Nyman as megalomaniacal monster and Vice Chancellor Jonty De Wolfe.

Black Mirror Season 7 arrives in 2025 with six twisted episodes, including a sequel to USS Callister
Back in November, we heard that the Netflix streaming service had ordered a seventh season of the anthology series Black Mirror – and now Netflix has unveiled a video in which they have confirmed that Black Mirror season 7 will be released sometime in 2025! You can watch the announcement video in the embed above.
Black Mirror season 7 will consist of six episodes, one of which will be a sequel to the popular season 4 episode USS Callister! We even have a short synopsis for that one: “Robert Daly is dead, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their problems are just beginning.“
There was a rumor floating around a couple months ago that USS Callister would be getting its own three episode spin-off series. That has never been confirmed, but at least now we know for sure that there’s going to be some USS Callister action in the new season of Black Mirror.

Released through the Netflix streaming service back in December of 2017, season 4 of the anthology series Black Mirror featured an episode called USS Callister, a sort of dark comedy mash-up of Star Trek and The Twilight Zone. It quickly became a fan favorite and earned seven Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, winning Emmys in four categories, including Outstanding Television Movie and Outstanding Writing for a Limited Series, Movie, or Dramatic Special. Rumors of a USS Callister spin-off started circulating soon after; in fact, we previously reported on the possibility back in 2019. Now What’s on Netflix is reporting that the USS Callister spin-off series is moving ahead at Netflix, and will consist of three episodes.
According to the site, USS Callister will be filming in the United Kingdom and “aims to begin shooting in Spring 2024” Production will reportedly last for ten weeks.
Details about the spin-off’s plot is being kept under wraps.

The future is ours to choose,” according to a statement.
The cast includes Noah Saavedra, Jessamine-Bliss Bell, Paul G. Raymond, Wim Wenders and Markus Imhoof.

Space is no longer the final frontier for television, with Star Trek: Discovery and The Orville both having successful first seasons during the 2017-2018 TV season—and they might be joined by another space-set show if those involved with Black Mirror have their way.

[Editor’s Note: Spoilers follow for “Black Mirror” Season 4, Episode 1, “USS Callister.”]
Perhaps one of the best moments of “USS Callister,” the opening salvo of “Black Mirror” Season 4, is the scene when the woebegone prisoners of Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons) reveal to their new compatriot Nanette (Cristin Milioti) that not only is she trapped in a virtual world, but she’s been stripped of the most basic human pleasures, thanks to Robert’s family-friendly code.
“How I miss taking shit,” Elena (Milanka Brooks) mourns, as Nanette takes a peek downstairs to confirm the truth of what they’re saying.
“Stealing my pussy is a red fucking line,” she growls, and just under the wire, 2017 gains a new heroine for the ages.
Both Plemons and Milioti have shot to the top of our 2018 Emmys prediction charts with their work in this episode, but for very different reasons. Plemons does a masterful job of not just pulling off a fantastic William Shatner impression,...
