Ricky Gervais never seems to be short on ideas. Aside from his upcoming series with Warwick Davis, the entertainer is also working with former Dexter showrunner Clyde Phillips on a new show called Afterlife. Known for being a fairly outspoken atheist himself, Gervais is again returning to religious territory for this new project.

The original office funnyman Ricky Gervais is working on a new show called Life’s Too Short, and to promote it, the actor has released a new teaser that’s, uh, less than informative. After having some trouble with a stagehand, Gervais introduces the show’s star, Warwick Davis, as well as co-writer Stephen Merchant. He also calls the faux-documentary show a “cross between The Office and Extras.” That’s pretty much all we get. Luckily BBC had a little more to say, revealing that Davis, a dwarf who has acted in Harry Potter and Star Wars, will play a “fictional version of himself.”...  read more
