Hugh Grant has been joined by a ton of amazing actors in Netflix’s upcoming comedy special from the creators of Black Mirror, called Death to 2020.

The 60-year-old Undoing star, who opened up about his own character in the show just recently, will star alongside Lisa Kudrow, Samuel L. Jackson and Leslie Jones.

Joe Keery, Kumail Nanjiani, Tracey Ullman, Cristin Milioti, and Samson Kayo will be part of the upcoming special as well, Deadline reports.

While details of their characters have not been released, Hugh shared that he plays “a historian who’s being interviewed about the year. I’m pretty repellent, actually! And you’ll like my wig.”

Here’s the summary for Death to 2020: “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.”

Hugh is also pictured below, shopping for a Christmas Tree with his family in London over the weekend.

Is something 2020-related coming to Black Mirror?

The creator of the show released a mystery mockumentary about the year of 2020, which might be called “Death to 2020.”

In November, Hugh Grant revealed he was working on something with the creator of the show, calling it a “mockumentary about 2020,” and that he’d be playing a historian being interviewed about the year.

“I’m doing a thing tomorrow, actually. Charlie Brooker [the creator of Black Mirror] has written a mockumentary about 2020. It’s for Netflix, and I am a historian who’s being interviewed about the year. I’m pretty repellent, actually! And you’ll like my wig,” he said.

“2020: even the creators of Black Mirror couldn’t make this year up. But, they do have something to add. Death to 2020,” the teaser hints. It’s also “coming soon” to Netflix.

If you’re a pop culture buff and you’ve already seen Spider-Man: Far From Home, you might be wondering why the character Betty, who plays Ned’s love interest, looks so familiar. Here’s why!

The 18-year-old Australian actress who plays Betty, Angourie Rice, has appeared in some popular titles in recent years.

Of course, she also plays Betty in the first film, Spider-Man: Homecoming. But outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Angourie has also starred in the 2013 apocalypse-themed thriller These Final Hours, as well as in 2016′s The Nice Guys as Ryan Gosling‘s daughter.

She also starred in Sofia Coppola‘s The Beguiled from 2017, as well as playing Rhiannon in 2018′s Every Day.

Most recently, and perhaps most recognizably, she just starred in the Miley Cyrus-led episode of Black Mirror, “Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too,” which premiered earlier this year.

Did you recognize Angourie from one of her recent projects?

Ashley O bathes in pink water in her new music video for “On a Roll”

Played by Miley Cyrus, the Black Mirror character’s song is actually a cover of Nine Inch Nails‘ “Head Like a Hole”.

“I didn’t question the integrity of how it would be used,” Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor previous told GQ about the covers for the show. “It was a flattering ask, and I thought, Yeah, let’s try it, let’s see.”

You can watch the video below and stay tuned for Ashley O‘s two-song EP, coming out this weekend!

Miley Cyrus‘ Black Mirror episode, “Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too,” is now available to stream on Netflix, and you may think that the songs within the episode sound familiar.

Well…they’re rewrites of Nine Inch Nails songs that have been “pop-ified!”

“On a Roll” is really a re-do of “Head Like a Hole” and “Right Where It Belongs” has also been tweaked for the episode.

“I didn’t question the integrity of how it would be used,” Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor told GQ. “It was a flattering ask, and I thought, Yeah, let’s try it, let’s see.”

“They’re hilariously catchy! Which, of course is what they are, what [the songs] are designed to be,” co-executive producer Annabel Jones added. “It’s funny, for sort of a satirical take on a pop star, we were humming them ourselves. Everybody throughout the production was singing along unknowingly.”

Netflix has released the new artwork for their season five episodes, and we’re getting a whole new look at Miley Cyrus as the star of one of the episodes!

Miley is set to star in the episode titled “Rachel, Jack and Ashley, Too” which is about a lonely teenager who yearns to connect with her favorite pop star – whose charmed existence isn’t quite as rosy it appears.
