It will once again consist of six 30 minute episodes which were all written and directed by its star Ricky Gervais. 

This third season will follow his grief-stricken journalist Tony as he attempts to deal with another major loss while exploring what it means to move on with your life.  

Fellow cast members Ashley Jensen, Tom Basden, Roisin Conaty, Tony Way, Diane Morgan, Mandeep Dhillon, Penelope Wilton and Paul Kayke are all set to return.

It's the last outing for After Life but it’s not the end of Gervais’ involvement with Netflix.

In a recent interview with Sirius XM Radio, he said that he’s got three other projects in the pipeline at the platform which they greenlit after he told them he wanted to end After Life. 

Describing them as “completely different”, one is reportedly a sitcom that’s “more sitcommy than anything he’s even written.”

You can stream both seasons of After Life on Netflix now.
