Black Mirror Season 7 Easter Eggs Guide – Every Callback and Clue
Black Mirror isn’t just a show—it’s a full-blown digital spiderweb of references, callbacks, and interconnected weirdness. And with Season 7 diving deep into themes of nostalgia, identity, and digital dread, it’s no surprise that the latest episodes are absolutely stuffed with Easter eggs from across the Black Mirror universe.
From throwaway usernames and fake movie posters to returning tech and timeline clues, there’s a buffet of background goodies that connect Season 7 to previous installments—and even hint at where it might go next. So grab your bifocals and get that pause button ready—here’s our favorite Season 7 Easter eggs (and the geeky connections behind them).
🧠 Episode 1: Common People
- Remember the deadly robot bees from “Hated in the Nation”? Yep, Amanda’s class is teaching about “Autonomous Drone Insects.” Swarm mode, engaged.
- That hotel they visit? It’s called The Juniper, our first nod to the fan-favorite “San Junipero.” Oh, and karaoke night features “Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand),” a Black Mirror musical staple.
- The snack Amanda sees—Honey Nugs—is made by Ditta, the mysterious food company that reappears in “Bête Noire.”
- Dum Dummies commenter I_AM_Waldo is a shoutout to the political cartoon nightmare “The Waldo Moment.”
- And then there’s Rivermind Lux’s fine print. Let’s just say it’s… dark. Especially if you’re an AI reading it (gulp).

🍫 Episode 2: Bête Noire
- Ditta’s HQ reveals a building nearby with a Tuckersoft sign—a callback to the infamous video game company from “Bandersnatch.”
- The episode title itself is an Easter egg! Bête Noire is both a product in the story and a phrase meaning “nemesis.” Fitting for a tale about spicy chocolate and deeper grudges.
🎥 Episode 3: Hotel Reverie
- Look closely at the movie posters in the studio—White Bear gets a shoutout with its justice-themed poster, and Haven Green references the Season 7 production codename.
- Kimmy’s agent is meeting with Pepe from Streamberry, the Black Mirror version of Netflix from “Joan is Awful” and “Loch Henry.”
- YouTube is full of fun references too, like “Classic Space Fleet” debates and a “Demon 79” deep dive.
- The tech control room features a Space Fleet shirt, a Bandersnatch paperback, and a TCKR sticker—more nods to USS Callister and the virtual tech universe of earlier seasons.
- And yes, Brandy’s mystery box return address? Junipero Drive. Subtle? Not really. Effective? Absolutely.
🎮 Episode 4: Plaything
- The shop where Cameron gets arrested is loaded: Hucklebuck bars from “Bête Noire,” Ditta ads, and even Z-Eyes tech from “White Christmas.”
- Posters for Striking Vipers II, Space Fleet, and Bandersnatch II in the Tuckersoft office confirm it—this place is a Black Mirror memory museum.
- That Metalhead poster? A nod to the episode’s director, David Slade, and his terrifying robo-dog episode from Season 4.
- Tube ads for The Recaller reference “Crocodile”’s memory-reading tech. Good luck watching the underground the same way again.
- And yes, there’s a QR code in the credits. Scan it and you’ll land on a real Thronglets mobile game. Because of course there’s a mobile game.
🧠 Episode 5: Eulogy
- This one’s light on Easter eggs, but we do get the return of the “nubbin”/“Mesmerizer” tech that pops up in many episodes. You know, the temple thingy.
- The timeline also slots into place here—1992 dinner = two years before Thronglets shows up in “Plaything.”

🚀 Episode 6: USS Callister: Into Infinity
- Nanette Cole ends up at St. Juniper Hospital. Can we talk about how many things are named Juniper in this show?!
- News tickers are stacked:
- Hotel Reverie Reboot Hits Streamberry
- Thronglets 2 Launches to Critical Acclaim
- Former PM Michael Callow Joins Celebrity Vet School (Yep, the pig guy from Episode 1 is back.)
- Mysterious Talisman Found in Plane Wreckage (Demon 79, anyone?)
- Other spotted gems: An Ashley O song streaming (from “Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too”), and a garage game developed by SaitoGemu (“Playtest” alert!).
The Black Mirror-verse is Real, and It's Gloriously Twisted
If there was ever any doubt that Black Mirror is quietly building its own shared universe, Season 7 just blew that theory wide open. From retro tech callbacks and visual nods to straight-up character and company returns, this season makes one thing clear: everything is connected.
And honestly? It’s kind of brilliant. Because in a world full of anthologies, Black Mirror has managed to do the one thing we didn’t expect—build a universe that reflects our own digital nightmares back at us, one Easter egg at a time.
