After Life 2
Ricky Gervais’ jet black comedy about a man grieving for his wife and making the best of his job at a local paper returns for a second series. The Netflix drama sees Gervais return as the foul-mouthed but ultimately sweet-hearted Tony, with a supporting cast including Tom Basden and Diane Morgan.
On confirmation of the successful show’s renewal, Gervais said: I have never had a reaction like this before. It’s been insane.”
Casting is by renowned comedy CD Tracey Gillham and shooting is throughout the summer.

We also announced last month that Gervais-collaborator Karl Pilkington was returning for Season 2 of Sky’s Sick of It, where Pilkington explores the life he would have led were it not for meeting Gervais and Stephen Merchant. We understand that shooting is underway, but casting may still be ongoing with CD Julie Harkin.
