You know in a horror movie when someone says, “Well it can’t get any worse than this, right?” Well, this past year is what happens when everyone said that about 2020. You know, while you were locked in your parents’ house with your pets and newfound TikTok obsession, wondering if it was the GrubHub driver knocking on your door or just the existential dread breathing down your neck. In an unfortunate turn of events, we’re not doing better a year later, but that doesn’t mean we can’t laugh about it, right? And to help with that, Netflix’s Death to 2021 is the unprecedented sequel to what was supposed to be an “unprecedented” year. 

Death to 2021, executive produced by Annabel Jones and Ben Caudell, follows the same mockumentary style of its predecessor, Death to 2020. Death to 2021 has a new director as well, Josh Ruben. The Netflix special mixes archival footage, taken from this exhausting year, as well as sit-down interviews that recount the trials and tribulations people went through.

The comedy-event stars well-known faces in fictitious roles, including Hugh Grant, Lucy Liu, ​​Tracey Ullman, Samson Kayo, Joe Keery, William Jackson Harper, Stockard Channing, Cristin Milioti, Diane Morgan, Nick Mohammed and more.

In a first look clip, Keery, Liu and others tell the sobering details of the fateful day Facebook went down. How were people supposed to share their thoughts? Feel validated? Message their loved ones or high school exes during that particularly awful Mercury retrograde? It was a day to remember, and Death to 2021 captures all of those feelings. You can relive it all — but with a laugh this time — on Dec. 27.
