Hopefully it will be more like Screenwipe than Death to 2020.

Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker has announced the release of a new Netflix special.  

Titled Attack Of The Hollywood Clichés!, the hour-long special is set to poke fun at and deconstruct some of “the funny, weird and controversial” tropes we see used over and over again in films. 

The show will be hosted by 9-1-1: Lone Star and Parks and Recreation actor Rob Lowe who will be accompanied by a variety of celebrity guests, screenwriters and film critics. 

With the help of the experts, Attack of the Hollywood Clichés! analyses the origins and evolutions of everything from 'Walking Away from an Explosion', to the 'Meet-Cute', and 'Females Running in Stilettos' said the streaming giant in a press release.

It’s not yet known exactly which A-listers will appear but Brooker’s last special, Death to 2020, attracted a plethora of talent including Samuel L. Jackson, Lisa Kudrow, Hugh Grant, Kumail Nanjiani and Leslie Jones. 

Attack Of The Hollywood Clichés! comes from Broke and Bones, the production company created by Brooker and the executive producer of Black Mirror Annabel Jones  

You can stream Attack Of The Hollywood Clichés! on Netflix from 28th September.
