The first thing to get into the way of Spin-off was the Covd-19 pandemic in 2020, which was quite closed by Hollywood for a better part of a year. As Haynes further explained, It was double screaming and wga strikes in 2023 It totally killed the chances of spin-offs to happen at all:

We were literally to start what would be the" Callister series ". I think she took advantage of that time (during the strikes), knowing that every limited availability, to understand, "How to understand it, to do this to happen in one way that can be obtained?" And then it became the only movie. "

Indeed, Season 7 The Black Mirror includes a sequel in the form of "USS Kalister: In infinity". Fans may have been waiting for more than seven years to see him, but he finally happened. Whether it's worth waiting for or not, it is a matter of personal opinion, but the episode sees Nanet of Christine Milli taking a central scene this time around.

"We could have made our own, I would like to say, an iconic scientific trilogy in the world" Black Mirror ". And what could be better? It's so exciting. If we do another! I would like to do good on the trilogy."

So, yes, though we didn't get a full spin-off series, Haynes now hopes to turn USS Kalister into a trilogy in the "Black Mirror" universe. And, Haynes certainly has exalted goals for the trilogy as a whole, even making comparisons to "Starwells War: The Empire Strikes Back" and "Terminator 2 of Jamesimes Cameron", "Day of the verdict", some of the best extensions ever made:

As for this writing, no third entry into the "USS Callister" series is not confirmed. However, the "black mirror" continues to be a hit for Netflix, so it doesn't look unlikely. Let's hope it doesn't take seven more or eight years.
