Ricky Gervais’ After Life heading to Netflix

May 10, 2018 by Ricky Church

British comedian Ricky Gervais will be heading back to television for Netflix with a new dark comedy, After Life. The streaming service has ordered six half-hour episodes for its first season.

Created, executive produced, directed by and starring Gervais, After Life centers on Tony (Gervais) who had a perfect life. But after his wife Lisa suddenly dies, Tony changes. After contemplating taking his own life, he decides instead to live long enough to punish the world by saying and doing whatever he likes from now on. He thinks it’s like a Super Power — not caring about himself or anyone else — but it turns out to be tricky when everyone is trying to save the nice guy they used to know.

I start pre production on my new Netflix show tomorrow. It's a 6 part, dark comedy, in which I play a man who, after the death of his wife, becomes suicidal but decides to live long enough to punish the world by saying and doing whatever the fuck he likes from now on. pic.twitter.com/7AwmV6rEbd

Gervais teased the announcement recently over his Twitter page as pre-production on the series begins today. Charlie Hanson, one of the producers on Gervais’ Extras, will be re-teaming with Gervais for this new series.
