Season two will also see if things progressed between Tony and care home nurse Emma (Ashley Jensen).
There will be some doom and gloom thrown in as well with the local newspaper and Tony’s employer facing closure.
The only form of distraction in the village will come by way of a local amateur dramatics production to lighten the mood.
Previously speaking to NME about the show, Ricky Gervais said in 2019: “There’s a lot of flavours.
“Some people will enjoy ot, some will love it, some people will hate it. Most people won’t know it exists, so I’m all for that.”
He went on to joke: “If you don’t like me, another actor is coming along any minute. It is the comedy cast of the century even if you don’t like every single person. It’s amazing.”
Gervais explained: “I think all the people who like [my previous work] might be a bit surprised by this because it’s the furthest I’ve gone: the most dramatic, the darkest, the most uncompromised.”
