Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker has teased season 7 of the hit sci-fi show and has confirmed that the new season will be more like the OG series fans first fell in love with.

“We’re doing some things we’ve not done before. People can expect quite a lot of emotion and, hopefully, a good mix of chills,” said Brooker in an interview withDeadline. “But this time around, the episodes are all, in a way, like OG Black Mirror.”

It seems like Brooker has taken these complaints into consideration though as he now promises the next season will feel more like the earlier seasons. The first season launched genre-bending episodes such asFifteen Million MeritsandNational Anthemthat deal with politics, societal imbalances, and the dangers of technology and have become solid fan favorites.
