“Time to unplug the Wi-Fi and brace for impact” — internet in splits as Black Mirror Season 7 poster drops

With the imminent release of Black Mirror Season 7, anticipation has hit a fever pitch. The latest season of Black Mirror drops tomorrow, and if the teasers are anything to go by, it promises to exhibit the kind of brilliance that will make you laugh hysterically at 3 A.M (we're not joking — Netflix really is going to drop the season at 3 A.M EST!).

Netflix has also released a new poster urging fans to "Plug back in" and it has immediately sent the fans into a meltdown mode.

New Black Mirror poster sends fans into a frenzy

Black Mirror Season 6 premiered in 2023, and you'd think that by now, fans would've prepared themselves for a new season. On the contrary, it seems like fans are approaching the new season with the strategic foresight of a raccoon in a dumpster fire.

The new poster for Black Mirror Season 7 has officially been released, and fans are tying themselves in all sorts of knots trying to predict what is going to happen in the coming season. As the countdown begins, netizens are spiralling once again into their signature blend of over-analysis and meme-worthy meltdowns on social media:

"A possible existential crisis on a Thursday seems fitting", quipped another (via X / @JAMnit_JAM)

The poster itself is a masterclass in absurdity—it screams 'technology is watching you' and features a close-up of an eye in profile with a creepy, glowing tech implant on her temple, and the ominous tagline 'Plug Back In' as the tagline.

As if we were ever unplugged!

The poster prompted a lot of reactions from fans. While some started looking for possible hints on the upcoming season for speculation, others took to poking fun while comparing the eye with a virtual disco ball. One fan even tagged Specsavers for good measure:

"I'm no doctor but I don't think her eyes have any pupils. @Specsavers you seeing this sheet?"

The hype got so intense that even the official Specsavers account felt the need to chime in, leaving the netizens in stitches:

"We also recommend this"

As Netflix feeds into the hype for the upcoming season's inevitable descent into tech-fueled madness, given the current state of affairs, fans are bracing themselves for a season that’s darker than ever.

Everyone remembers the first time they dived into the Black Mirror world (who can forget the season premiere!), but it seems like one fan is just catching up to the rest of us:

"My mate Paul watched Black Mirror and now he’s scared of anything with a screen, including his microwave. He says it's 'too quiet' and 'hiding something"

Creator Charlie Brooker has a knack for playing fans like a fiddle even as he cooks up the next techno-horror scare to unleash upon them. With the world is currently in a fix (it always is, to be honest), some fans questioned the great wisdom of the Netflix executives in launching the new season right now:

"They always drop this show when the world is already in shambles like girl we LIVING it", joked one fan (via X / @szaseiji)

"Would be pretty funny if one of the episodes was just a link to a live reporting of the news since we're already living in the Black Mirror universe. Banksy type stuff", quipped another (via X / @barrybufano)

As Netflix dropped the poster for the impending release of Black Mirror Season 7, fans have been sent into a tailspin as they began overanalyzing each and every detail. But let’s be real here: the poster could’ve been a black square with the words “soon-ish” scribbled over it, and it'd have still left fans foaming at the mouth.

Even though Black Mirror leaves viewers questioning reality, fans are willing participants in this, as each teaser, poster, and trailer is eagerly lapped up by them. With less than 24 hours to prepare, fans are still scrambling to guess what horrors Season 7 will unleash!
