The "USS Callister" episode of Netflix's "Black Mirror" was initially set to be developed into a series but faced production complications. Cinematographer Stephan Pehrsson detailed this evolution, revealing that plans shifted from an eight-part series to a potential three-part format, eventually settling on a feature-length special. The primary hurdle was the challenge of reuniting the cast due to their growing popularity and commitments, which made long-term collaboration difficult, ultimately leading to a more succinct production schedule that worked better for everyone involved.
"There was just so many complications... I think they're planning like an eight-part series... suddenly like a year later [Haynes said], 'Oh, they're doing a four-part series.'"},{
