After Life is far from dead. Netflix just announced they’ve renewed the TV show for a second season.
The comedy series stars Ricky Gervais “as Tony, a man who recently lost his wife and decides 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.”
Netflix has ordered six episodes for season two of After Life. You can read more about the renewal below:
NETFLIX RENEWS “AFTER LIFE” FOR SEASON TWO
Quote from Ricky Gervais: “I have never had a reaction like this before. It’s been insane. And heartwarming. But now I have to make sure the second season is even better so I’ll probably have to work much harder than usual. Annoying really.”
Quote from Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer: “After Life has moved audiences from laughter to tears around the world and we are thrilled to announce that Ricky Gervais will be back with a second season on Netflix. We are so proud to play host to Ricky’s brilliant stand up comedy, specials, original films, and series and join in the joy of the fans with his latest hit.”
