In a world where technology, and especially AI, is rapidly taking over these days, it's always a pleasure to see when some grand visual achievement in a film or TV show is done by people (and practical effects) rather than CGI. And who would've thought the series that's primarily about sci-fi and future technology could pull off a stunt like that in its seventh season with aplomb? The "Black Mirror" episode 'Eulogy' is likely the most heartfelt, endearing, and human story in the latest batch of six episodes. It's practically a one-man show that leans heavily on Paul Giamatti's captivating charisma and emotional range to tell a ballad of love, grief, and regret.

Giamatti plays Phillip, a middle-aged American man who's notified by a tech company called Eulogy that a long-lost love of his, Carol (Hazel Monaghan), has recently passed away. Though their relationship ended decades ago,...

Paul Giamatti opened up about his unique parallels with his character in the seventh season of Netflix and Charlie Brooker’s anthology series “Black Mirror” during a SAG-AFTRA Foundation conversation moderated by Clayton Davis, Variety’s chief awards editor. The Oscar nominee starred as Phillip in “Eulogy,” an episode that has received immense praise for his compelling performance portraying regret, loss and isolation. The sci-fi premise involves technology that recreates forgotten memories about a past relationship that Phillips uses re-examine his old romantic failures.

“There were lots of things that I felt an instinctual relationship to without needing to think a lot about it,” Giamatti said. “There was so much already there. And it’s an archetypal sort of story about regret and guilt. I mean, everybody has these kinds of feelings…I have lots of regrets. In some ways, there was a big pool of that to draw on already,...

In his Black Mirror debut, Emmy-winning actor Paul Giamatti stars as a lonely man who confronts a past love by literally stepping into old photographs to recall his late girlfriend’s face.

The Season 7 episode “Eulogy” calls on Giamatti to convey a wide range of emotions — often all at once — whether that’s anger, hurt, or self-loathing. How does an award-winning actor prepare for that?

“I'm filled with defensiveness, anger and hurt,” Giamatti joked to Gold Derby on the red carpet of the show’s FYC event at the Television Academy’s Saban Media Center in North Hollywood, Calif. “It's weirdly enjoyable in some really sick way for actors to do that.”

While he said he “worried” most about the ending and the final scene “landing naturally,” The Holdovers actor also credited the episode’s writers, Ella Road and creator Charlie Brooker.

“It’s in the script when someone tells me what to do,...

The only formula for Black Mirror is that there isn’t one. “Eulogy,” the fifth episode of the current season, is essentially an hour-long solo performance by Paul Giamatti. Though he does have a costar in Patsy Ferran, he holds the screen himself for nearly the full hour, acting opposite an avatar (spoiler alert!) as a middle-aged man named Phillip coming to terms to terms with long-buried memories of a lost love.

What’s first presented as a simple ask to collect memories soon reveals itself to be a far deeper, more emotional journey, led by Ferran’s “The Guide” through — and into — old photographs. And it takes an actor of Giamatti’s caliber — with accolades from the Oscars, the Emmys, the Globes, BAFTAs, SAGs, and more — to keep us riveted.

Here, Giamatti tells Gold Derby why he empathizes with Phillip, why he likes playing bad guys, and why he...

Netflix will submit eight cast members from Black Mirror for Emmy consideration, Gold Derby has learned.

Paul Giamatti and Chris O'Dowd will be submitted for Limited Series/TV Movie Actor and Rashida Jones will be submitted for Limited Series/TV Movie Actress.

Jimmi Simpson who stepped back into the role of Walton for Black Mirror's "USS Callister: Into Infinity," the sequel to the Emmy-winning episode that originally aired in 2017, will be submitted for Limited Series/TV Movie Supporting Actor. Likewise, his costar Cristin Milioti, who similarly reprised her role for "Into Infinity," is being submitted as Limited Series/TV Movie Supporting Actress. The decision would potentially make her eligible for two Emmy nominations, since she is planning on going in the lead category for The Penguin.

Emma Corrin, Issa Rae, and Tracee Ellis Ross will also be submitted for supporting actress.

Giamatti starred in the Black Mirror episode titled "Eulogy,...

Netflix has a strong Emmy hand to play this TV awards season, positioning the seventh season of its flagship anthology series “Black Mirror” for a major awards run — and this time, the dystopian drama might be among its most formidable contenders yet.

Confirmed exclusively to Variety, the streamer is submitting three standout performances for lead acting honors in the limited or anthology series or TV movie categories: Paul Giamatti for the melancholic and moving “Eulogy,” and Chris O’Dowd and Rashida Jones for their resonant turns in the sociopolitical two-hander “Common People.” It’s a bold push that signals high hopes for a season already being hailed as a return to form — and possibly the series’ strongest outing since its Emmy-winning heyday.

Giamatti’s performance as Phillip, a solitary man navigating grief through digital means in “Eulogy,” has generated both tears and buzz. The 46-minute episode explores the ethics of AI-driven memorials,...

Netflix’s Fysee is on the move. Looking to spotlight Los Angeles, which is still recovering from the devastating wildfires, the annual FYC showcase of the streamer’s top Emmy contenders will take place at various locations throughout the city from Saturday, May 17 to Monday, June 2. Festival events for Fysee: LA will be held at theaters and other landmarks in Santa Monica, Hollywood, Pasadena, Eagle Rock, The Valley, South Central and beyond.

Adolescence, Squid Game, Nobody Wants This, Black Mirror, The Four Seasons, Simone Biles Rising, Arcane and The Diplomat are among Netflix’s live-action and animated series and documentaries spotlighted with panel and other events.

Emmy winner John Mulaney, who anchors the opening night with a presentation for his Everybody’s Live, recorded a Fysee: LA announcement video on the set of his talk show, which you can watch below.

Other Netflix stars slated to appear at Fysee LA...

When Netflix does things, it tends to do them in a very big way. And that certainly applies to the streamer’s campaign plans for this Emmy season, which were shared on Thursday.

The company, via its Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney host John Mulaney, announced that during the two weeks between Saturday, May 17, and Monday, June 2, it will host Fysee LA, a festival for which it will take over theaters and iconic locations throughout the city of Los Angeles in order to bring together TV Academy members and Netflix’s Emmy-contending talent.

The fest’s events — taking place everywhere from Santa Monica, Hollywood and Pasadena to Eagle Rock, The Valley and South Central — will support local businesses impacted by the recent wildfires.

Among those set to make appearances: Mulaney, Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This), Simone Biles (Simone Biles Rising), Adam Brody (Nobody Wants This), Ted Danson (A Man on the Inside...

Black Mirror Season 7 Episodes – Rotten Tomatoes Ratings & Ranks Rank 6 Black Mirror...

Every new season of Black Mirror launches a feverish debate over which episode was the best. Emmy voters gave three consecutive Best TV Movie awards to "San Junipero" (2017), "USS Callister" (2018), and "Bandersnatch" (2019), but how does the entire fandom rate the best and worst installments? We've consulted the cumulative IMDb scores for all seasons and have come up with the definitive ranking of Black Mirror episodes. Can you guess the No. 1 choice?

Created by Charlie Brooker, the sci-fi anthology series began on the U.K.'s Channel 4 in 2011 before moving to Netflix (and becoming a worldwide phenomenon) in 2016. The show took a four-year break after Season 5, thanks in part to the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, but that just gave people even more time to relive their favorite episodes from the beginning.

Although the 21st century has seen a terrific rise in prestige television that has expanded the possibilities of prolonged storytelling, “Black Mirror” has been an experiment like no other. The BBC series, which gradually shifted to Netflix, is an anthology story examining the various sinister ways technology has complicated sociology, politics, and morality as it rapidly expands its grasp on everyday life. While the obvious comparison is to “The Twilight Zone,” “Black Mirror” exists within a gray area in which the stories don’t necessarily feel supernatural. While not specifically intended to be predictive, “Black Mirror” has succeeded in sparking debates that are either likely to come up in the near future or have already become relevant.

“Black Mirror” has returned for a surprising comeback in its seventh season, which includes some groundbreaking new concepts and clever sequels to previously established storylines. While an episode like “Eulogy” aimed to be a more heartfelt,...

“Black Mirror” is back and Season 7 brought six new episodes to hand-wring over.

The new season of Netflix’s sci-fi anthology series boasts some efforts into sequel territory and a return to the gut-punching past the original episodes of the series delivered. Whether you’re excited about the movie-length sequel to the beloved “USS Callister” episode or want to see what Paul Giamatti can cook up in this world, there’s a bevy of riches on offer.

Here are all six episodes from the latest season of “Black Mirror,” ranked from worst to best.

“Playthings” might not be a full-on sequel to the 2018 interactive special “Bandersnatch” but it does bring back Will Poulter’s odd video game designer Colin Ritman – for all of one scene. The rest of the episode plays out as a sort of Tamagotchi gone bad scenario that never quite...

[This story contains some spoilers for Black Mirror season seven.]

You could say Charlie Brooker is going back to basics with the seventh season of Black Mirror. After experimenting with things like interactive movie Bandersnatch and “Red Mirror” horror last season, the creator-writer of the hit Netflix series says he wanted to go back to the Black Mirror formula of sorts.

“You’ve got human beings and then some form of miraculous technology is introduced into their lives that upends it,” says Brooker about the theme of the new episodes. If you haven’t figured it out by now, technology isn’t the bad guy in Brooker’s stories: humans are, as is proven by many of the characters in the six new episodes, which include the first-ever Black Mirror sequel, “USS Callister: Into Infinity.” The endings range from bleak to unnerving to sentimental and victorious, with one that can be debated as hopeful or bleak,...

This post contains spoilers for the "Black Mirror" episodes "Eulogy" and "The Entire History of You."

"Black Mirror" fans often worry that the show has run out of genuine surprises or meaningful things to say. There's a familiar formula now to how a typical "Black Mirror" episode should go down: a seemingly sympathetic character is introduced to sci-fi technology, the tech turns out be eviler than first assumed, and the main character is revealed to be more complicit in this evil than we would've guessed. For the character to be a pure innocent victim of the technology isn't enough; the horror doesn't land unless the victim at least partially brings it upon themself.

On the surface at least, "Eulogy" checks off all of those boxes. Paul Giamatti's character Phillip is introduced as a lonely, heartbroken man, who's asked to use a sentient picture-enhancing computer to revisit key moments from a relationship in his twenties.

Season 7 of Black Mirror dropped April 10 on Netflix after a two-year break. English showrunner Charlie Brooker wrote or cowrote all of the episodes, as usual. He's a five-time Emmy winner for writing and producing "San Junipero" in 2017, writing and producing "USS Callister" in 2018, and producing "Bandersnatch" in 2019. He received a sixth career Emmy nomination last year for writing "Joan Is Awful," but lost to Richard Gadd (Baby Reindeer).

Speaking of "Bandersnatch" and "USS Callister," Season 7 marks the first time Black Mirror has revisited previous storylines in the form of cameo and a sequel, respectively. Will Poulter's computer programmer character Colin Ritman was featured in the interactive "Bandersnatch" and now returns with a small role in "Plaything." Meanwhile, "USS Callister: Into Infinity" is a full-on sequel to the original outer space installment, with Cristin Milioti and Jimmi Simpson reprising their crew members of the titular starship.

As for the other new episodes,...

Note: This story contains spoilers from “Black Mirror” Season 7, Episode 5, “Eulogy.”

While there are rarely happy endings in “Black Mirror,” Paul Giamatti said his Season 7 episode, “Eulogy” is as close to one as the sci-fi series gets.

“It really is as far as it could be a happy ending,” Giamatti told TheWrap. “I don’t know if it’s happy, but I think he ends up better — it’s a better ending than it could have been.”

In “Eulogy,” Giamatti stars as Phillip, a lonely man who is offered the chance to revisit a heartbreaking and pivotal relationship from his 20s by using a system that enables users to step into memories from photographs. With the help of the system’s guide (played by Patsy Ferran), Phillip examines the few preserved photos he had left of his ex-girlfriend, Carol, following her death, tapping into what Giamatti calls a “weird, almost...

Are you ready for it? Black Mirror season 7 dropped on Thursday, April 10, and it is again great. You might have even taken the day off from work to stream the series, which is only six episodes long.

In other words, you could call off work, take a long weekend, watch the new season of your favorite show, and still have lots of time left to watch something else. Sounds like a wonderful weekend, doesn't it?

But before you delve into season 7, here are some familiar faces you will see during the season. A few of them were from previous seasons. Some others are brand new.

Here are some of the familiar faces you will see in Netflix's Black Mirror season 7AwkwafinaPlays Kimmy in "Hotel Reverie"

Her character owns a company that has Redream software. The system is designed to place current Hollywood stars in older films, giving the flick a fresh appeal.

Black Mirror season 7 is one of the most buzzy seasons the anthology series has had in a long time. With two sequels to acclaimed prior entries and a cast list that includes plenty of recognizable names, this season had the potential to be an absolute knockout — something we haven’t had from Black Mirror in quite a while.

One of the things that will stand out to fans about season 7 of Black Mirror is that it has much less of a horror focus than past seasons. Of this season’s episodes, three are dramas, one is action, one is a thriller, and only one (Plaything) could really be described as straight horror. Perhaps series creator Charlie Brooker took the criticisms of season 6 having too much horror and not enough sci-fi to heart.

As a whole, this season was mostly very strong. The concepts of all six episodes are incredibly intriguing,...

Could this be the year “Black Mirror” finally reflects gold?

After more than a decade of mind-bending morality tales and dystopian nightmares, Netflix’s “Black Mirror” might finally be on the verge of achieving a long-elusive milestone: an Emmy nomination for outstanding limited or anthology series.

While the anthology has long been critically lauded — and an Emmy magnet when it was eligible in the television movie category — the Television Academy’s 2021 rule change, which moved anthologies alongside miniseries, has made it harder for shows like “Black Mirror” to compete on equal footing. However, the seventh season, which dropped April 10, is drawing some of its most substantial critical acclaim. And with a submission landscape thinner than usual, this might be creator Charlie Brooker’s best shot yet at one of the top prizes.

First launched in 2011 by Brooker, “Black Mirror” has taken its cues from classics like “The Twilight Zone,” with...

Black Mirror returns with mostly favorable reviews of the seventh season of the Charlie Brooker-created series. The April 10 drop featured six episodes, including a sequel to 2017's "USS Callister" episode with Cristin Milioti and has a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Some episodes, as you’d expect with a potpourri, are less compelling than others, but the series hits the high notes of human loss and love amid our relationship with tech and the search for life’s meaning with flashes of Brooker brilliance," writes Carol Midgley (The Times).

One episode receiving high praise is titled "Eulogy." It stars Paul Giamatti, who gives a powerful performance as a man who can step into old photographs to relive certain moments with a former love. "One could watch this episode entirely divorced from the world of Black Mirror and witness one of the best short films of 2025," writes Brian Tallerico (RogerEbert.com ), and...

Paul Giamatti looks back on life filled with regret in a thoughtful inspection of love and memory. Here’s our Black Mirror: Eulogy review.

In the world of Black Mirror, when a “kit” arrives at your front door via drone, it’s rarely a good sign. In Philip (Paul Giamatti)’s case, it might be just what he needs.

The package comes from an organisation called Eulogy, a funeral company which transforms memories of the deceased into “immersive experiences”. Philip’s old girlfriend, Carol, has passed away, and his name was in her contacts list. Along with his digital guide (Patsy Ferran), the pair are able to delve into the polaroid photographs long-buried in a shoebox in the attic – memories the still heartbroken Philip would rather forget…

Playing out as a character-driven two-hander, Eulogy escapes the sci-fi thriller trappings weighing down some of the season’s previous episodes to deliver a far gentler,...

Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror has often been critiqued for losing the sharp edge that once defined its bleak, cautionary storytelling. The series, known for its grim take on technological advancement, built its reputation on a pessimistic view of how innovation might spiral out of control. However, some argue that Black Mirror, much like its spiritual predecessor The Twilight Zone, occasionally finds room for hope amidst the darkness.

Still, there’s a growing gap between how fast technology integrates into everyday life and how quickly stories reflecting that evolution are created. As a result, media that not only portrays the dangers of technology but also explores its emotional or even optimistic possibilities is becoming more relevant—and more necessary. Black Mirror Season 7, Episode 5, titled “Eulogy,” falls into that emerging category. Rather than leaning into pure dystopia, it uses technology as a narrative tool to tell a story that’s both emotionally resonant and thoughtfully restrained.

In “Eulogy,” one of the final episodes of Season Seven of Black Mirror, a lonely man named Phillip (Paul Giamatti) learns that an old flame has died, and he’s been asked to contribute to a unique kind of eulogy wherein an AI guide (Patsy Ferran) pulls his consciousness into old photos to mine memories. Phillip claims not to remember much about the woman, but, over the course of the episode, his blurry memories sharpen, and he admits to himself that he never stopped loving her — that his own hubris kept them apart.

Plot: Charlie Brooker’s dark, satirical anthology series will return in 2025 with six brand new episodes, including a sequel to the sci-fi adventure USS Callister.

Review: Since Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror moved from the UK’s Channel 4 to Netflix in 2016, we have been lucky to get four seasons and the interactive movie Bandersnatch. The last foray into the surreal anthology was in 2023, which offered a mix of almost feature-length tales that felt a bit underwhelming compared to the legacy the series had built for itself. The seventh volume of Black Mirror debuts on Netflix today and is a return to the powerful storytelling we saw in the early years of the series. Bringing back spin-offs and continuations of beloved entries, this may be the most diverse mix of story tones and themes, all tied to the ongoing theme of technological horror that is just slightly askew from what could really happen.

‘Black Mirror’ Season 7 keeps pulling us into its twisted worlds, and Episode 5, ‘Eulogy,’ hits a quieter, sadder note that still leaves a mark. Charlie Brooker crafts a story here that’s less about flashy tech and more about the ache of holding onto what’s gone. We’re dropped into the life of a grieving sister, wrestling with a gadget that promises closure but delivers something else entirely. It’s a slow, heavy burn that sticks with you.

Olivia Colman steps up as Janet, carrying the weight of loss like only she can, while Kingsley Ben-Adir plays her brother Marcus in fleeting, perfect moments. Rory Kinnear rounds out the cast as Eric, a tech guy with a salesman’s grin and a shaky conscience. This one’s got that ‘Black Mirror’ feel—hope dangling just out of reach—but it’s grounded in something raw and real. Let’s dig...

Black Mirror is finally back with Season 7, and it brings a fresh cast and powerful stories. Over the years, the show has featured big stars like Miley Cyrus, Jon Hamm, and Daniel Kaluuya. This new season adds more great actors to the mix.

While “USS Callister: Into Infinity” brings back familiar faces like Cristin Milioti and Jimmi Simpson, the other episodes introduce new talent, including Rashida Jones, Awkwafina, Issa Rae, Paul Giamatti, and Peter Capaldi.

If you haven’t had the chance to check out the latest season yet, we’re happy to report that the reviews are in, and unsurprisingly, they’re overwhelmingly positive. Some critics are even calling it the best season of Black Mirror to date.

Critics are loving Black Mirror Season 7, especially taking into account powerful themes like grief, regret, faith, bullying, and the impact of AI. The episodes look great and are very well written,...

Although the Black Mirror franchise is primarily known for a darker, more horror or thriller-leaning tone, some of the best episodes are more romantic in nature — Hang the DJ and San Junipero coming to mind as key examples. The season seven episode Eulogy attempts to cash in on a similar tone, and while it’s not as memorable as those aforementioned entries, it will catch a lot of viewers tearing up.

Black Mirror: Eulogy Review

Eulogy tells the story of a man who receives the news of the passing of a former lover, which causes him to use a revolutionary new software that allows him to step into old photographs and relive his memories. What proceeds is a decades-spanning romance condensed into the length of a 45-minute Black Mirror episode — all thanks to the convenience of a clever premise and narrative device.

The Netflix anthology series Black Mirror is Twilight Zone for the digital age, delivering unpredictable stories that offer insightful commentaries on both the real and digital worlds. At its worst, the show sometimes feels a bit half-baked, as if creator/writer Charlie Brooker couldn’t quite figure out how to explore a clever idea. But at its best, the series offers some of the most stunning and thought-provoking stories ever told on television.

Season 7, which drops today, feels like the show operating close to its peak, with a series of clever ideas that are (more often than not) perfectly punctuated. Here's a spoiler-free breakdown of what to expect and what we thought of all six episodes of the new season.

“Black Mirror” is back for another round of mostly-worrying near-future dystopia.

Charlie Brooker’s darkly satirical anthology series — which began life in 2011 — is now onto its seventh season, all six episodes of which land on Netflix April 10.

Where the previous outing largely skipped the show’s tech-focused roots in favor of genres such as horror, this time it heads back towards it origins, featuring technological themes such as digitization, tiered-pricing and video gaming, but all told through its usual bleak — and sometimes bleakly comic — lens. Artificial intelligence, unsurprisingly, crops up several times.

But for the first time in the “Black Mirror” universe, there’s a sequel to a previous episode, the spaceship from Season 4 favorite “USS Callister” dusted off for another adventure in the digital realm, a return Brooker says was “long in the making” (but logistically difficult to arrange).

Alongside the Callister’s returning crewmates of Jesse Plemons and Cristin Milioti,...

Black Mirror Season 7 is taking the viewers aboard the USS Callister once again! “USS Callister” was originally part of Black Mirror Season 4 and was set in the twisted sci-fi world of Robert Daly, played by Jesse Plemons. The episode featured Christine Miliotias Nanette Cole, a programmer trapped in Daly’s virtual game where he controlled digital versions of his colleagues. While the original episode ended with Daly’s character possibly dying, the fate of the others was left unresolved. But Black Mirror Season 7 promises to pick up right where things left off.

This marks the first time Netflix’s dystopian anthology series is revisiting a previous episode. The sequel, titled “USS Callister: Into Infinity,” will feature Milioti reprising her role along with Billy Magnussenas Karl, Milanka Brooks as Elena, and Osy Ikhile as Nate. In an interview with Deadline, Black Mirror creator Charlie Brookerrevealed that he always wanted to follow...

Black Mirror, the sci-fi anthology series that brings the magic of The Twilight Zone to life for a new audience, returns to Netflix for its seventh season in the immediate future. All six episodes in the show's seventh season will drop at once on Thursday, April 10.

Generally speaking, Netflix drops new episodes at midnight on the west coast, which means they'll drop at 1:00 a.m. in the mountains, 2:00 a.m. in the central time zone, and 3:00 a.m. on the east coast. Wherever you live, you'll have access to all six episodes at once.

Black Mirror fans were licking their lips and crying “exit game” when Netflix announced a sequel to the much-loved ‘USS Callister’ episode, and creator Charlie Brooker has dished more on how the next instalment came about.

Speaking to Deadline in the days leading up to Black Mirror Season 7, Brooker told us the idea to follow up on the Star Trek-esque episode that starred Jesse Plemons, Cristin Milioti and Michaela Coel had been percolating almost immediately upon its conclusion.

Brooker revealed there had even been early-stage plans to make a ‘USS Callister’ limited TV series or feature film.

“Of all the stories we’ve done this one ended as though we were setting it up for the sequel,” said Brooker. “It went through various guises but in the end we made it feature length within the season. It took so long getting it together – we had the pandemic, writers’ strike...

Among the plethora of hotly anticipated new content heading to streaming over the next month, perhaps nothing has more people excited than Black Mirror Season 7. The hugely popular, mind-bending anthology series is ready to return to Netflix with a brand-new set of six episodes, each ready to dismantle the social and technological landscape we live in yet again. With a tantalizing trailer and even the episode titles having now been released, thoughts have turned to the minute details surrounding each installment, with Black Mirror known for its jaw-dropping storytelling.

Charlie Brooker, creator of the series and an undoubted genius, recently spoke via Radio Times and teased what fans can expect from Season 7. In light of the sixth outing feeling a tad overwhelming in its theming and stylistic choices, Season 7 is now expected to be more stripped back, perhaps akin to the original seasons of the show. "This year is more reflective,...

Breaking news: Charlie Brooker is developing a new piece of tech that will redefine reality.

The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday received in their inbox the ultimate Easter egg to promote season seven: A leaked internal and confidential email from Tckr Systems Communications preparing the Black Mirror creator for the launch of a new product called Nubbin.

Black Mirror viewers will recognize the Nubbin as the headpiece that many characters across six (and soon to be seven) seasons of the Netflix dystopian series place on their temple before they head into some sort of immersive escapade with their virtual consciousness.

(If you haven’t guessed by now, this is not a real product announcement. But it is a real Easter egg… so, let’s keep going!)

Included in the “leaked” email is a live website introducing the implantable technology, while also making users aware of its risks.

Patsy Ferran has dropped hints about starring in the new Black Mirror season. The Miss Austen and Mickey 17 actress appears in the season 7 episode "Eulogy."

"Eulogy" is the fifth of six new Black Mirror episodes coming to Netflix in April, and will feature three-time Golden Globe winner Paul Giamatti starring with Ferran. Written by Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, "Eulogy" revolves around technology that allows people to literally revisit memories.
