If there’s one thing Black Mirror fans love as much as being unsettled, it’s playing detective. Over the years, the series has teased a shared universe with subtle callbacks, background clues, and crossover props — and Season 7 doubles down on that tradition. From throwbacks to Bandersnatch and San Junipero to fake brands and reused soundtracks, Black Mirror Easter eggs are as twisted and clever as ever.
We’ve broken down all the major Easter eggs (so far!) from Season 7 — one episode at a time.
