Hugh Grant in Death to 2020

Death to 2020 will see a number of recognisable faces pop up throughout the episode. In addition to Samuel L. Jackson and Lisa, actors Hugh Grant, Tracy Ullman, Kumail Nanjiani and Diane Morgan will also make an appearance. The stars will provide a mix of fictional sketches and monologues as they discuss and theorise all the events of the past 12 months.

The official synopsis reads: "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."
