Even Charlie Brooker thinks that 2020 is so batshit bananas awful that he couldnt have dreamed it up for Black Mirrorhimself. But maybe he can make the end of our Hell Year a teensy bit less dismal with his new Netflix comedy event Death To 2020, a mock-doc-style special that takes a look back at this dumb fucking year via archival footage and some of the worlds most (fictitious) renowned voices. Joining previously announced cast member Hugh Grant are Samuel L. Jackson, Lisa Kudrow, Leslie Jones, Joe Keery, Kumail Nanjiani, Tracey Ullman, Cristin Milioti, Samson Kayo, and Diane Morgan. Netflix has also released a short teaser for the event, which is still being filmed and does not yet have a release date:
Heres the official description from Netflix:
2020: A year so [insert adjective of choice here], even the creators of Black Mirror couldnt make it up but that doesnt mean they dont have a little something to add. Death to 2020 is a comedy event that tells the story of the dreadful year that was and perhaps still is? This landmark documentary-style special weaves together some of the worlds most (fictitious) renowned voices with real-life archival footage spanning the past 12 months.
Starring Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Grant, Lisa Kudrow, Kumail Nanjiani, Tracey Ullman, Samson Kayo, Leslie Jones, Diane Morgan, Cristin Milioti, Joe Keery and more, Death to 2020 is the cathartic comedy event youll never forget about the year you really, really dont want to remember.
Death to 2020 is created and executive produced by Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones and produced by Alison Marlow.
