Ricky Gervais’ how Derek will makes its Netflix debut Sept. 12 at 12:01 a.m. PT. All seven 30-minute episodes will be available at launch.
All Netflixerswill be able to watch the show, except for viewers in the U.K. The show already aired on Channel 4 there and was recently renewed for a second season, so don’t worry.
David Earl, Karl Pilkington and Kerry Godliman star in Derek, along with Gervais. Derek is produced by Derek Productions Ltd. for Netflix.
Derek is a bittersweet comedy-drama about a group of outsiders living on society’s margins. The show centers around Derek Noakes (Gervais), a tender, innocent man whose love for his job at a retirement home shines through.
Working alongside Derek is Dougie (Pilkington), his landlord who is one of life’s unlucky individuals; Kev (Earl), a loveable train wreck; and Hannah (Godliman), a care worker in the home and Derek’s best friend. She is smart, witty and hard-working, but unlucky in love, and, like Derek, always puts other people first.
