BBC This City is Ours star James Nelson-Joyce joins Black Mirror Season 7 cast
BBC This City is Ours star James Nelson-Joyce is set to feature in Netflix’s upcoming season of Black Mirror.
Season 7 of Charlie Brooker’s twisted, dystopian anthology series will air on Netflix on April 10, with Brooker promising “a mix of genre and styles” with some being “deeply unpleasant”.
The new series will star big names such as Chris O’Dowd, Emma Corrin and Will Poulter, with Liverpool’s very own James Nelson-Joyce among the most recently announced cast members.
The 36-year-old is known for Little Boy Blue, Time and the Responder and recently appeared in A Thousand Blows alongside Stephen Graham. His latest role as the lead character in BBC’s This City is Ours has created a whole new fanbase for the actor.
While Nelson-Joyce’s role in the upcoming season of Black Mirror has not yet been revealed, Netflix shared a teaser which features the names of the actors and additional text including phrases such as, “Hardly in the spirit of the game” and “My lawyers will f*** you into a barb wire coffin”.
Nelson-Joyce’s name appears in a list under the latter-mentioned phrase, which includes actors such as Jay Simpson and Issa Rae. It is not clear if this means they will appear in th same episode.
