After Life Season 3, starring Ricky Gervais, drops on Netflix today (14 January).

The third and final instalment of the hit comedy-drama, which premiered in 2019, follows Tony Johnson as he continues to try and accept life without his late wife.

In the previous series, Johnson was shown coming to terms with the death of his father, as well as battling with suicidal thoughts.

However, his dog, Brandi, gave him a purpose to keep on living.

The official synopsis for the follow-up reads: “While Tony is no longer quite so aggressively grouchy about life, he continues to struggle to fill the void left behind by his late wife.”

Despite fans begging Gervais for more episodes to be made in the future, the 60-year-old has insisted that the show has come to a natural end.

Opening up about his decision to end it here, the comedian told BBC Radio 6 host Lauren Laverne: “The problem with ending a sitcom is – it [After Life] almost negates the genre. With a movie say, it’s got a beginning, middle and end whereas a sitcom is all middle.”

He continued: “You have to decide when that [the ending] comes and I think 18 episodes is about as long as it can be.

“It might even be the perfect length. They’re [the episodes are] shorter than your average sitcom, they’re 26 minutes, you know,

“So I think you look at it like it’s seven or eight hours in a man’s life and I think it’s just about right.”

All episodes of After Life Season 3 are now available to stream on Netlfix.
