Black Mirror star Emma Corrin joins show creator Charlie Brooker at season 7 screener as new episodes get rave reviews

Black Mirror star Emma Corrin stepped out in style on Wednesday as they attended a screener for the new series. 

The English actor, 29, cut a stylish figure at BFI Southbank in a white pussybow shirt paired with a black jumper and trousers.

Emma – who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns – was joined by series creator Charlie Brooker as they posed for snaps on the red carpet.  

The Crown star appears in episode three of the new series, тιтled H๏τel Reverie, alongside Issa Rae. 

The pair play A-list actors appearing in a remake of a vintage Hollywood classic – but there’s a twist. 

Series seven also includes a sequel to season four’s fan-favourite episode USS Callister, which sees a video game programmer invent a simulated reality where he’s captain of a spacecraft with his co-workers as his crew.

The dystopian sci-fi anthology series aired April 10 with six electrifying new stories and an all-star cast. 

Fans have been counting down for the release of season seven and look set not to be disappointed after critics awarded it rave reviews. 

The Telegraph’s Chris Bennion awarded the show five stars, writing: ‘If the previous two series felt curiously flat, this one fizzes with invention, humour and love, and finds the joy in the darkest of corners. Brooker’s back.’

Jack Seale at The Guardian: penned: ‘Tender sentiment touches instalments starring the likes of Chris O’Dowd, Rashida Jones and Paul Giamatti. But it hasn’t lost its demon side – you’ll cackle with laughter at some of the chaos.’ He awarded the season four stars. 

Another four star review came from John Nugent at Empire, writing: Over a decade since he forced a prime minister to do terrible things with a pig, Charlie Brooker is still pulling the rug from under our feet in thrillingly ambitious ways. 

‘This is another eye-popping, brain-melting run of episodes.’

The Times’ Carol Midgley loudly praised Emma and Issa’s performance, admitting they ‘shined’ in the new series before awarding the series four stars.

Carol wrote: ‘I have always found to be more affecting the closer it is to real life and this one is still playing on my mind — a good thing.

‘Brooker is on form. Given that there have now been 34 episodes, you do wonder when/if his vast imagination will run out.’

Daily Mail’s Kathryn Flett wrote: ‘The new series’s first, clever, dark, hour-long episode Common People – only partly a nod to the Pulp song – has so many similarities to the Apple TV+ hit that it’s potentially a non-Severance viewer’s ‘gateway’ drug’, giving the series a whopping five stars.

India Block at The Standard gave a high four star rating, penning: ‘Charlie Brooker delivers a welcome return to form’.

However, The Independent’s Nick Hilton gave the series a disappointing two out of five stars.

He wrote: ‘This latest season of Black Mirror just doesn’t carry the same punch that it used to.’

RadioTimes’ Morgan Cormack said: ‘A testament to everyone involved, season 7 is home to instant classics aplenty that you’ll want to devour in no time at all and will stand the test of time, standing tall against many of Black Mirror’s episodic greats from seasons past’. She gave the series five stars. 

BLACK MIRROR SEASON 7: WHAT HAVE THE CRITICS SAID:  

The Telegraph 

If the previous two series felt curiously flat, this one fizzes with invention, humour and love, and finds the joy in the darkest of corners. Brooker’s back.

The Guardian 

Anthologies are a hard gig. But this warmer, more convincingly human Black Mirror is easier than ever to forgive. 

Daily Mail

The new series’ first, clever, dark, hour-long episode Common People – only partly a nod to the Pulp song – has so many similarities to the Apple TV+ hit that it’s potentially a non-Severance viewer’s ‘gateway’ drug

Empire 

Black Mirror remains the same force it’s always been: satirical, strange, and very, very sad indeed. Long may it continue.

The Times

Brooker is on form. Given that there have now been 34 episodes, you do wonder when/if his vast imagination will run out.

The Standard

Charlie Brooker delivers a welcome return to form

The Independent

This latest season of Black Mirror just doesn’t carry the same punch that it used to

RadioTimes

A testament to everyone involved, season 7 is home to instant classics aplenty that you’ll want to devour in no time at all and will stand the test of time, standing tall against many of Black Mirror’s episodic greats from seasons past
