The fourth season of Black Mirror, Netflix's often dark but always technologically-savvy sci-fi anthology series, is on its way, and the first images show that a classic franchise will be the (likely unnamed) subject matter of one episode.

The first photo from Season 4, courtesy of IGN, comes from an episode entitled "USS Callister," appears to show the bridge and crew from a Star Trek-like TV show. The episode is written by Charlie Brooker and William Bridges, the pair behind the Season 3 episode "Shut Up and Dance." No plot details are currently available for this or any other episode, but we do know it will star Jesse Plemons (Fargo), Cristin Milioti (The Wolf of Wall Street), Jimmi Simpson (Westworld), Michaela Coel (Monsters: Dark Continent) and will be directed by Doctor Who veteran Toby Haynes.
