After Life season 2 ending spoilers follow.
Ricky Gervais' After Life recently dropped its second series (or season, if you must) on Netflix, and fans used to the comedian's work are probably expecting that to be the end of it, or that there will be one special to see the characters off.
But the star has been speaking about wanting to do a third series, and now the show is out there and the response has been so good, he's talked about how likely it is to happen.
In a Twitter livestream Q&A, Gervais was asked about coming back for more, where he said: "I'd love to do a season three, it looks like it's going to go down a storm, so if this reaction carries on then yes."

He talked about the pressure of doing a follow-up, especially when the reaction to something has been so positive.

He said: "The better it goes down the worst it is for me, you can do something f**king amazing, and everyone goes: 'Oh god, it's the best thing ever, 10/10.'
"But if you do something else that is 9.5/10 people are like: 'It's f**king awful, this is the worst show on television'. So that's what goes through my mind."
The second series ended vaguely, which works both for and against carrying it on further. Having said that, we weren't sure that a second series was really needed and yet we found that it did a good job of exploring Tony's character in new ways.
After Life series 1 and 2 are available on Netflix right now.
