Charlie Brooker, creator of Black Mirror, Netflix‘s mind-bending sci-fi series, has another show in the works for the streaming giant. This one’s not as exalted as high-brow science fiction; but it promises to be as much fun and exciting as it possibly can. Coz it is a mockumentary on the soon to be bygone year 2020, easily the shittiest year in recent memory.
Charlie Brooker has picked an interesting choice to lead his mockumentary – Hugh Grant. Fresh from the recent resounding success of his HBO mini series ‘The Undoing’, Hugh Grant is an excellent pick to pull off the mockumentary, with his effortlessly sarcastic and self-effacing style.
While Netflix is tight-lipped about the planned show, Hugh Grant did let the media in on some clues about the character he’s playing. The British actor will portray a “repellent historian with a wig” in the show.
Charlie Brooker has considerable experience in creating dark and comic recaps of news-worthy events and artsy happenings of the year, courtesy his once-regular BBC series titled ‘Annual Wipe’. Going by Brooker’s previous works, the Netflix Mockumentary seems to be something to look forward to.
