Ricky Gervais has thanked viewers for the ‘beautiful’ reaction to season 3 of his hit show, After Life.
The actor, 60, who created and stars in the phenomenal comedy-drama, last year confirmed that the show’s third series would be its last, leading to a lot of upset fans.
However, he later admitted he ‘wishes he could do season four’, and stars have suggested Ricky could do a Christmas special in the future.
But for now, fans – and Ricky – have bid goodbye to the much-loved show, with the final episodes dropping on Netflix on Saturday.
The devastating finale brought many – if not all – fans to tears, and The Office star has been ‘overwhelmed’ with the messages he received after thousands binged the entire series within a few hours of its release.
Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Ricky wrote that he had ‘woken up to literally thousands of the most beautiful tweets about #AfterLife3’.
‘Genuinely overwhelmed,’ he admitted.
After Life is the first drama written and directed by Ricky that he’s taken to three seasons, having usually finished TV shows with two seasons and a special, as was the case with The Office and Extras.
In May 2020, Ricky struck a multi-year deal with Netflix, which was said to have been worth eight figures.
Rather than stretch After Life into further series, the actor is set to make a new show as part of the deal, with Ricky revealing that he’s ‘got it down to three possible ideas and one is edging its way’.
