Grant and Liu will star with Tracey Ullman, Samson Kayo, Joe Keery, William Jackson Harper, Stockard Channing, Cristin Milioti, Diane Morgan and Nick Mohammed.

Death to 2021 hails from Black Mirror executive producer Annabel Jones and Ben Caudell. Jones and Caudell executive produce, with Caudell as lead writer.

Death to 2020 and Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker is not involved in the new special.
