Eagle-eyed Netflix fans are all saying the same thing after spotting a 'hidden message' in the latest teaser for season seven.
The streaming platform dropped a big announcement this evening (14 March), revealing that six new episodes will be coming out in 2025.
And of course, fans couldn't be more excited.
One fan tweeted: "For every good #BLACKMIRROR is one of the best, now season 7 coming I can't wait," as a second added: "Oh my god! Season 7!"

For those unaware, the Charlie Brooker-led series is inspired by The Twilight Zone, and, so far, has a total of 27 episodes across six series, and one special.
Having watched the creepy teaser for the upcoming seventh season, which is estimated to drop in 2025, Black Mirror fans were quick to spot one hidden detail.
"USS CALLISTER PART 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO," one fan wrote.
"The USS Callister is back next year! From Black Mirror Season 4, Episode 1, 'USS Callister' (2017)," another added.
Yep, after seeing what looked like the infamous Callister spaceship in the teaser, fans believe there could be a sequel to one of the series' most loved episodes - USS Callister.
And people will be delighted to know that they aren't just seeing things as Netflix confirmed the return themselves.
"USS Callister will return… Robert Daly is dead, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their problems are just beginning," they said in a teaser at Netflix’s See What’s Next Event in London.
The episode from season four starred Jesse Plemons, Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson and Michaela Coel, and told the story of a bitter co-founder of a tech company who took revenge on his employees through the world of virtual reality and online gaming.
Season six landed just last year and fans got five new stories, with arguably the most epic cast yet; Aaron Paul, Michael Cera and Salma Hayek Pinault joined by Himesh Patel, Monica Dolan, Rob Delaney and Paapa Essiedu.
In an interview with Netflix’s Tudum platform, Brooker said: “I’ve always felt that Black Mirror should feature stories that are entirely distinct from one another, and keep surprising people — and myself — or else what’s the point?
“It should be a series that can’t be easily defined, and can keep reinventing itself.
“Partly as a challenge, and partly to keep things fresh for both me and the viewer, I began this season by deliberately upending some of my own core assumptions about what to expect.
"Consequently, this time, alongside some of the more familiar Black Mirror tropes we’ve also got a few new elements, including some I’ve previously sworn blind the show would never do, to stretch the parameters of what a Black Mirror episode even is.
“The stories are all still tonally Black Mirror through-and-through — but with some crazy swings and more variety than ever before.”
