Black Mirror season 7 just dropped today (April 10, 2025). The British anthology sci-fi series has been a long crowd favorite due to its gripping storyline, as each episode features a new plot and cast. This season, the makers have also included two very well-known YouTubers in the show — Thomas "TommyInnit" and Daniel "DanTDM."

The two YouTubers appear in episode 6 of the latest season (titled USS Callister: Into Infinity). Both UK-based creators can be seen making a brief appearance at around the one hour and nine-minute mark of the episode. TommyInnit confirmed his inclusion via his X account (@tommyinnit):

What roles do TommyInnit and DanTDM play in Black Mirror Season 7?

Minecraft YouTubers TommyInnit and DanTDM make a brief appearance in the season finale. They can be spotted for a few frames around the one-hour-and-nine-minute mark.

The content creators, however, don't have any dialogue. The two appear as vengeful Infinity players during a chaotic intergalactic battle scene chasing down the USS Callister. One of them has a brief moment where he's seen glancing nervously at his fellow players before charging into the action.

To fully understand this particular episode, you should watch the first USS Callister from Season 4, Episode 1. Season 7’s episode, titled USS Callister: Into Infinity, picks up right where the original left off. This marks the first time the show has created a direct sequel to a story.

Black Mirror Season 7 is now available to stream on Netflix. A subscription is required to watch, and all episodes are currently accessible.
