The creators of Black Mirror have shared, just before the end of 2020, that they are working on a Netflix comedy special.
This year has often
been likened to dystopian sci-fi anthology
Black Mirror, but the show’s producers have admitted that they could not have created the unprecedented events that transpired this year in a fictitious episode.
Previously, the makers of the show
announced that 2020 has been so depressing, they decided not to work on a
Black Mirror season this year. However, they are not leaving their fans empty.
The producers have now devised a comedy special for Netflix called
Death to 2020. The program will star Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Grant, Lisa Kudrow, Leslie Jones, Joe Keery, Kumail Nanjiani, Tracey Ullman, Cristin Milioti, Diane Morgan, and Samson Kayo.
Netflix released a teaser video describing the special as an event you will not forget, “from the year you really don’t want to remember.”
It will be showcased in a documentary style with “some of the world’s most (fictitious) renowned voices” along with real-life clips reliving the past year.
There aren’t many details of the program as of yet, so you’ll just have to keep an eye out for the follow-up announcement.
Watch the teaser clip below.
