This story discusses major plot developments in the "Black Mirror" episode "Plaything" currently streaming on Netflix. Will Poulter had heard hints that the character of Colin Ritman - the genius early ’80s games designer-character from the interactive 2018 "Black Mirror" episode "Bandersnatch" - might not be gone from Charlie Brooker's twisted satirical universe

"It's now canon," writer-director Brooker tells EW of "Plaything," a chilling video game tale that sees Will Poulter's character return from the 2018 "Bandersnatch" movie.

Bandersnatch actually had a near countless number of endings, but with Plaything in Black Mirror season seven Charlie Brooker confirms that seven years later another one is in the mix.”We set up in another episode this season that there’s parallel realities, and that’s also set up in Bandersnatch, ” Brooker said to Entertainment Weekly.
