In 2017, Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker opened up the fourth season with USS Callister, an episode that featured Jesse Plemons as Robert Daly, a man who trapped digital clones of his colleagues in his own classic Star Trek-inspired world. It was a living hell for the clones until Nanette Cole (Cristin Milioti) led a revolt against Daly. The episode was so well-received that Brooker has been talking about a sequel since 2018. Now, the sequel has apparently already begun production.
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Brooker explained why it took so long for the sequel to come together before letting it slip that the cast has been reunited.
“It was something we were looking at for quite a long time,” said Brooker. “There were various iterations it went …

Read moreOne of SteelSeries’ best wireless headsets is half off at Best Buy
SteelSeriesCameron Faulkner (he/him) is Polygon’s commerce editor. He began writing about tech and gaming in 2013, and migrated from The Verge in 2023.If you want the best that SteelSeries has to offer in the PC/PlayStation headset space, but understandably don’t want to pay over $300 for its Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, then you’re in luck. The next best thing is the Arctis Pro Wireless, and it’s $139.99 at Best Buy (was $279.99). This model isn’t like most of the company’s other headsets; instead of having to recharge the entire headset when its battery dies, you simply swap out its battery with an extra that comes in the box, letting the gaming continue on.
