Rashida Jones' recent role in Black Mirror season 7
Rashida Jones is most recognized for her performances in TV shows like Boston Public, The Office, and Parks and Recreation. In The Office, she portrayed Karen Filippelli, a recurring role in several seasons. She subsequently portrayed Ann Perkins in Parks and Recreation, a role that lasted multiple seasons and received significant acclaim.
Jones most recently featured in Black Mirror season 7 in the 2025 episode named Common People. She portrays Amanda, a school teacher from a working-class background who aspires to build a family with her husband Mike, portrayed by Chris O'Dowd.
Nevertheless, when Amanda unexpectedly slips into a coma, Mike consents to a trial treatment from a tech firm named Rivermind that guarantees to restore her mental faculties via a subscription service.
The procedure restores Amanda's function, but binds her to increasingly expensive subscription tiers. She begins to lose control of her body, speaks product advertisements unknowingly, and sleeps for longer periods due to server demands. As their financial burden grows, the couple is forced to consider premium upgrades just to maintain Amanda’s stability.
Eventually, Amanda, aware that she is no longer able to live fully, asks Mike to end her life while she is unconscious. The episode ends with Mike fulfilling her request and turning to the camera, leaving viewers to interpret his final decision.
Jones’ performance anchors a narrative about digital dependence, financial strain, and end-of-life autonomy. This episode also marked her return to Black Mirror after co-writing the 2016 episode Nosedive.
