This is listed in order of earliest episode in the timeline to latest. Looking at some mentions of the Hot Shot reality show compared to mentions of White Bear and Victoria Skillane, along with the treatment of cookies, we can piece together a chronology below. Partial Timeline Based on Hot Shots Reality Show, Cookie Tech, and White Bear Mentions After that, we’ll make a “best guess” about how it all fits together into one big timeline. Scroll to the very last section to see the final timeline put together. First, we’re going to share the episode timelines that we can guess with the most assurance, based on Easter eggs specifically referencing other episodes and the state of technology. Brooker said: “It does … now seem to imply that it’s actually all a shared universe, which was the opposite of the answer I used to give to this question.” After looking at the Easter eggs mentioned in Heavy’s article here, we can begin piecing together a few possible timelines for the chronology of the episodes in Black Mirror. In an interview about Season 4, Charlie Brooker confirmed with Digital Spy that yes, Season 4 was going to provide compelling evidence that all the episodes are connected. This should only be read after you’ve seen all the episodes. WARNING: This post will have MAJOR spoilers for Season 4 and previous seasons, as we attempt to piece together a chronology based on Easter eggs and plot points.

Thanks to Season 4’s Black Museum episode, we now know this is definitely true. Yes, at least some Black Mirror episodes are taking place in the same universe, and we’re about to do our best to piece them all together. There has been a lot of speculation over the last few years that all (or at least some) of the Black Mirror episodes are actually taking place in the same universe, which means they should fit together into some kind of chronological order.
