Netflix Renews 'After Life' for Second Season
It's official: Ricky Gervais' Netflix black comedy After Life will be back for Season 2.
The series follows the story of newspaper journalist Tony (played by Gervais), a man who once had a perfect life, but who's now struggling to cope following his wife's death from breast cancer. The widower contemplates suicide, but instead decides to reinvent his life - and punish the world - by becoming the sort of man who says and does anything he wants. He sees his brutal honesty as a superpower of sorts, and something that protects him from the pain of caring about others the way his formerly nice guy persona did.
(Spoiler alert: The entire premise of this series is basically about Tony learning he's wrong, in case you didn't know.)
