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.

The creator-writer of the Netflix dystopian series takes a closer look at the new episodes, explaining why he wanted to revisit "USS Callister" and how he has ideas for more sequels.
