Netflix's After Life had a successful night at the 2022 National Television Awards on Thursday, October 13 and scooped the award for Comedy. Despite this, creator Ricky Gervais has confirmed that there "definitely" won't be another series following the third, emphasising that the story ended on the perfect note .
Talking following the win, Gervais said: "I've never done a third series of anything before. I've really loved it. It genuinely was my favourite show. The cast... I can't believe I got them. Genuinely this is a lovely ending, this is an amazing ending [to a show]." Earlier this year, After Life's third series premiered on Netflix and despite a mixed reception from critics, it was a hit amongst viewers.
The 61-year-old comedian and actor added: "This is the first time I want to do a third series of anything I've ever done. The world's too rich. I don't have to go over old ground. There's 10 characters who could be the lead in something."
