Netflix is staying in business with Ricky Gervais. The Internet TV network has bought the rights to Gervais’ next stand-up show, Deadline has confirmed.
Netflix previously bought his stand-up show Humanity, which is due in the first quarter, and also acquired U.S. and select international rights to his The Office spinoff movie David Brent: Life on the Road. Humanity was filmed in London’s Eventim Apollow as part of Gervais’ recent world tour. A specific airdate has not been set. No word on the amount paid or a timetable for the second special.
Gervais also shared the news via Twitter and asked for suggestions for a theme or title. Thoughts?
