Samuel L. Jackson & More enlisted for Netflix Mockumentary – Death To 2020

Date:

As we inch closer to 2021 and hopefully closer to the end of this pandemic, the creators of Black Mirror; Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones are giving us a way to laugh at everything that’s happened this year with Death to 2020 – their latest release under their Broke and Bones production company as a Netflix original production, as produced by Alison Marlow; following Netflix’s investment in the company in a landmark deal that gives the streamer exclusivity over Brooker and Jones’ new shows.

Because like I said, we all need a good laugh; at least as a distraction, given the tough times of the pandemic we are facing as the world at large.

Here’s the logline: “2020: A year so [insert adjective of choice here], even the creators of Black Mirror couldn’t make it up… but that doesn’t mean they don’t 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 world’s most (fictitious) renowned voices with real-life archival footage spanning the past 12 months.”

The special is intended to It is planned for release on Netflix on 27 December 2020. From the look of the trailer, the mockumentary’s hilarious colorful casts characters from a variety of backgrounds all find themselves the subjects of a documentary about this year. Glimpses of Kayo as a lab tech, Grant as a historian, Jackson as a very unamused reporter, Kudrow as a conservative politician, and Ullman as Queen Elizabeth II are among the highlights of the trailer. Every character will bring a different perspective to this year as the documentary style of the special allows for sharp, satirical, occasionally off-the-cuff takes on this year to come through.
