Black Mirror season 4 trailer: 'USS Callister' episode presents a seemingly innocent Star Trek remake

The show's first classic sci-fi genre episode

Netflix is playing its cards close to its chest with upcoming Black Mirror season 4 episode 'USS Callister', the trailer for which appears happy and dread-free.

We see Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad) playing a James T. Kirk-esque spacecraft captain, leading a crew that also includes Cristin Milioti (How I Met Your Mother), Jimmi Simpson (Westworld) and Michaela Coel (Chewing Gum).

The cast voyage through space, defeat alien aggressors and everything seems.....strangely fine.

This is Black Mirror though, so something must go awry, and there's a hint of this in the trailer when Milioti's crew member drops out of character.

Showrunner Charlie Brooker discussed this 'USS Callister' episode and much more in an interview in this week's episode of our podcast, Kernels. You can listen to it below and through podcast apps here.

The trailer follows our exclusive tease of episode 'Black Museum' and glimpses of 'Crocodile', 'Arkangel' and 'Metalhead'. Only 'Hang the DJ' has yet to be shown off.

Black Mirror season 4 is expected soon but does not yet have a release date.
