Netflix's Death to 2020 Tackles The Year That Was, Black Mirror-Style

Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker knows a little something about how to tell a horror story, so who better to give 2020 the year-end treatment? Brooker's new mockumentary Death to 2020 is set to feature the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Grant, Lisa Kudrow, Leslie Jones, Joe Keery and Kumail Nanjiani playing dim-witted fictional experts who weigh in on the year that was. The special drops Sunday on Netflix.
