Netflix dropped the first look at its hit series. Season two of After Life Season will see local reporter, Tony, played by Gervais, continue to grieve for his late wife while facing a new problem: his local paper The Tambury Gazette is at risk of closure.

”I was blown away by the reaction to season one,” Gervais said in the past. “I’ve never experienced anything quite like it! It’s been truly heart-warming to see how the show has resonated with so many viewers on an emotional level. I can’t wait for everyone to see season two where hope is everything.”

Also starring in the Netflix original is Penelope Wilton, David Bradley, Ashley Jensen, Tom Basden, Tony Way, David Earl, Joe Wilkinson, Kerry Godliman, Mandeep Dhillon, Jo Hartley, Roisin Conaty, Diane Morgan, and Tracy-Ann Oberman.

NBC is stepping up its 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards marketing game with warnings that when Gervais is hosting, audiences should expect the unexpected. 

The Peacock has unveiled new promos of the awards show on Thursday morning. 

“Happy holidays, America. I’m Ricky Gervais, and I’m hosting the Golden Globe Awards,” he says in the first of two new promos for the hosting gig. “So, there’s your early gift. Is it just what you wanted? No. It’s not, is it?” Gervais is then seen spraying the set — including the cameras — with champagne, while a voiceover warns, “as usual, we have no idea what he’s going to do.”

When it was first announced that Gervais would return as host Paul Telegdy, chairman of NBC Entertainment said, “It is sure to make for an unexpected evening. We can’t wait to see what he has up his sleeve.” 

Gervais previously hosted the Golden Globes in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2016. The Globes will air live on NBC, January 5, at 8 p.m. from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.

The British comedian and his very sharp tongue is set to host the 77th Golden Globe Awards marking his fifth time fronting the ceremony. The record breaking hosting duties, however, will be his last time.

“Once again, they’ve made me an offer I can’t refuse. But this is the very last time I’m doing this, which could make for a fun evening,” Gervais said in a statement.

“There is always a palpable electricity in the room when Ricky takes the Globes stage. His return as master of ceremonies at the Golden Globes is much anticipated,” added Paul Telegdy, Chairman, NBC Entertainment. “It is sure to make for an unexpected evening. We can’t wait to see what he has up his sleeve.”

NBC will broadcast the awards show live on January 5, 2020.

Gervais announced the news via a post on Twitter.

“Thanks again for all the love for #AfterLife,” Gervais wrote. “I have never had a reaction like this. The reviews have been great but the response from viewers has been f***ing amazing. And that means so much more to me. You are the best fans in the world. Oh, and I’ve started writing series 2.”

The first season of After Life premiered on Netflix in early March with all six episodes being available for streaming at once. The show starred Gervais as Tony, a man who struggles to cope with the death of his wife. After a failed attempt at suicide, he decides to change his approach to the world and starts saying a doing whatever he likes.  The cast list also includes Tom Basden, Tony Way, Diane Morgan, Mandeep Dhillon, and Ashley Jensen.

Although it was previously believed that After Life will have a limited run and conclude after season one, acclaim from audience and the critics obviously encouraged Netflix to order more episodes.

If you haven’t heard already, Ricky Gervais’ latest comedy series After Life just landed on Netflix. It sees Gervais being the meanest and grumpiest we have ever seen him and even shows him smoking heroin in an attempt to shock viewers. The comedy actor is subsequently aware that the show won’t be up everyone’s street.

“It’s the furthest I’ve gone, the most dramatic, the darkest, the most uncompromising,” Gervais told NME. “It’s the comedy cast of the century even if you don’t like every single person in it. It’s amazing.”

He added: “Some people will love it, some people will hate it, most people won’t know it exists, so I’m all for that.”

Entertainment For Us said in their 3.5 star review: “Overall, After Life is depressing even by Ricky Gervais standards. At the same time, there are some positive messages to take away from the series and its awesome soundtrack, fantastic cast and genuinely sweet and funny moments make it worth a watch.”

After Life is available to watch on Netflix now.

The 6-episode series follows the life of Tony (Ricky Gervais) after his wife dies from cancer. Tony loved his wife tremendously and now that she’s gone, he is struggling to find reason to get through the day. To take the edge of, he says and does what he wants and considers it to be a “superpower” because if it all gets too much, he can just kill himself.

As the series unfolds, Tony discovers that being able to say and do what you want isn’t really a superpower at all. His behavior is at first predictably rude and funny but eventually Gervais manages to genuinely shock us. In a particularly dark scene, he smokes heroin with a homeless person and then when the man tells him he would kill himself if he had the money, Tony hands over £60.

As well as being deliberately shocking, there are moments which are in fact deeply moving and tender. When Nick Cave’s “Into My Arms” plays while Tony hallucinates lying on his deceased wife’s lap, a tear or two is justified. The home videos of Tony and his wife are also effectively used to make the audience appreciate just how precious what he has lost is to him.

All the way through, Tony is painfully sad and ignores the care of those around him. When he meets a sad widow on a bench in a graveyard, the advice she dispenses makes him consider the possibility that there might just be life after loss. While the final episode may have been a little too cheesy, there is some genuinely profound wisdom shared in their encounters. After all, happiness is still happiness if it’s someone else’s.

Comedy highlights were the mundane and ridiculous news stories characters came up with to get in the local newspaper and Joe Wilkson as a postman named Pat. Rosin Conaty as a proud sex worker and kind woman is also a highlight and reveals a new side of Rosin as an actress.

Overall, After Life is depressing even by Ricky Gervais standards. At the same time, there are some positive messages to take away from the series and its awesome soundtrack, fantastic cast and genuinely sweet and funny moments make it worth a watch.

3.5/5
