Check out this first look at Ricky Gervais in his new Netflix show After Life!

The 57-year-old comedian and actor stars in the six part series alongside Kerry Godliman, Tom Basden, Tony Way, David Bradley, and Ashley Jensen.

Here’s a summary: Tony (Gervais) had a perfect life. But after his wife Lisa dies, Tony changes. After contemplating taking his own life, he decides instead 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.

Ricky created, wrote, directed, executive produced and stars in the series which hits Netflix globally on March 8th.

Ricky Gervais made an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday (January 17) and revealed he was “jealous” that Seth Meyers was chosen to host this year’s Golden Globe Awards.

“I was jealous of Seth,” the 56-year-old comedian told Stephen. “An amazing year to do it. I mean, it would’ve been the end of my career, but who cares.”

Ricky continued to explain that he could’ve been the perfect host for this year’s ceremony, despite the sensitive nature of the Time’s Up initiative.

“I think that’s why I’ve done the best stand-up ever. I’m so close to death that I think, ‘What’s the worst that could happen to me?’ Someone being offended now is nothing. So, what? I’m going to die,” Ricky joked, after stating earlier in the interview that he had gained weight, therefore was close to death.

Ricky Gervais makes an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, airing on Wednesday (November 1), while suffering from a serious case of the “Man Flu.”

“No hugs, I’m sick Ellen. I’m more than sick. I’ve got one of the worst diseases on the planet, Man Flu, really bad,” the 56-year-old comedian told Ellen. “When I’m ill everyone knows about it, I don’t think I’ll make Christmas.”

Ricky also talks about his stand-up tour, his love for animals over human beings and how he doesn’t plan on having children with his longtime girlfriend, Jane Fallon.

“There’s loads of reasons why I don’t love kids. The world is overpopulated. No ones sitting around going, ‘oh Rick is not having kids, we’re going to run out.’ There’s loads,” Ricky joked. “Too much responsibility.”
