Black Mirror has finally revealed the official trailer for their new Netflix mockumentary called ‘Death to 2020’.
The film – which is set as a documentary from the future looking back on the year that was 2020 – will examine the “dreadful year that was” through the eyes of several experts.
These experts are played by some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, including Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Grand, Kumail Nanjiani, Tracey Ullman, Samson Kayo, Lisa Kudrow, Dianne Morgan, Leslie Jones, Cristin Milioti, and Joe Keery.
“Those who only know me through Black Mirror may not realize that when not writing speculative sci-fi about people frowning at smartphones, I’ve spent years making comedy shows in the UK — including many topical comedy specials,” Black Mirror’s Charlie Brooker said in a statement.
“So to me, Death to 2020 feels like the collision of several different strands. (Do strands ‘collide’? No. Apologies). But the approach for this is quite different to most of the topical comedy I’ve done in the past. For one thing I’m not on screen presenting it — a relief for anyone watching in 4K — and it’s more character-based,” he continued.
“In the loneliest year on record, I got to work (remotely) with writers and team members from my previous comedies, as well as many sickeningly talented people who were new to me.”
Co-creator Annabel Jones added, “This year has been unusual in many regards, but what’s unified this year is the main stories we focus on — huge global stories, stories that affect the whole world. So we knew what the structure of the show was going to be, with quite a few surprises along the way!”
Death to 2020 will hit Netflix on December 27. You can watch the trailer below:
