The seventh season of Black Mirror, a British sci-fi anthology created by Charlie Brooker, premiered on Netflix on Thursday, 10 April, and one of the episodes was partly filmed in Kingston.

The episode 'Hotel Reverie' was filmed across Kingston and Shepperton Studios.

According to Sportskeeda, "Kingston served as the setting for the hotel's interior scenes, while Shepperton Studios in Surrey housed a custom-built set resembling a 19^th-century luxury hotel.

"Exterior scenes of Dorothy's home (Emma Corrin) were shot at the historic Chenies Manor House in Buckinghamshire."

Netflix's synopsis for this episode says: "Hollywood A-list actor Brandy Friday is thrown into an unusually immersive high-tech remake of a vintage romantic movie. She's got to stick to the script if she ever wants to make it home."

The cast for this episode includes Emma Corrin as Dorothy, Issa Rae as Brandy, Awkwafina as Kimmy, and Harriet Walter as Judith Keyworth.

Black Mirror season 7 features Chris O'Dowd, Rashida Jones, Paul Giamatti, and Peter Capaldi in its cast.

Sportskeeda writes: "The season expands on the universe established in earlier episodes.

"The plot links the past and the present, referencing beloved elements such as the USS Callister and Bandersnatch.

"Episodes such as 'Common People' and 'Eulogy' focus on the human consequences of emerging technology, exploring the interaction of AI, media, and memory with individual experiences.

"Charlie Brooker sought to delve into fresh emotional realms while maintaining the series' foundation in realism."

The latest season was filmed across various locations across the UK while one episode, 'Common People', was entirely filmed in Canada's British Columbia.

Other locations include Slough and Finchampstead in Berkshire, various London locations including Walthamstow and Hayes Park, Kent, Buckinghamshire, and Anglesey.

Filming for the seventh season "took place between January and October 2024, with a focus on using practical, real-world locations," writes Sportskeeda.
