Ricky Gervais could be back as Tony Johnson in After Life sooner than expected as rumours abound a special Christmas episode is being penned by the comedian.
The 58-year-old has found new success on Netflix with his dark comedy series about a man coming to terms with the death of his wife, Lisa – played in flashbacks by comedienne Kerry Godliman.
Streaming giant Netflix renewed the show for a third season shortly after the second aired in April – however, the third season is not planned to air until 2021.
But fans of the comedy could be able to see the characters back for a one hour Christmas special, according to The Sun. A source told the publication: “Ricky is a huge asset to Netflix as everything he writes essentially turns to gold.
