Ricky Gervais Comedy Coming to Netflix in March; Two TBS Series Moving to TNT

After Life starring Ricky Gervais launches on Netflix March 8, 2019. In the comedy, Ricky Gervais stars as widower, Tony in this new original Netflix 6 episode original series. Tony (Ricky 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.
