Cristin Milioti on the ‘Black Mirror’ Sequel ‘USS Callister: Into Infinity,’ Her Favorite ‘Sicko’ Moment and the Possibility of a Part 3
Cristin Milioti discusses the "Black Mirror" sequel episode "USS Callister: Into Infinity," what it's like acting with herself, and whether she's up for a Part 3.
The possibilities of that ending sparked immediate speculation that “Black Mirror” creator Charlie Brooker — who co-wrote “USS Callister” with William Bridges — would make the long-running anthology’s first sequel episode, to chronicle the continuing adventures of Nanette and her crew, including clones of fellow “Infinity” employees Karl (Billy Magnussen), Nate (Osy Ikhile), Elena (Milanka Brooks) and Kabir (Paul G. Raymond). Set a few months after the events of the first episode, we learn that, far from utopian bliss, life on the digital USS Callister is grim: Nanette and her crew are forced to shake down the avatars of real-world players for “Infinity” credits so they can scrape together enough money for in-game purchases of ammo, fuel and food. Because the Callister’s crew don’t have gamertags, players begin flooding “Infinity” message boards with complaints about being ripped off, which sets off a chain of events that result in the real-world Nanette not only learning for the first time about the existence of her digital counterpart, but meeting her inside the game.
