Ricky Gervais Returns to Netflix With Stand-up Special - Mortality

Netflix today announced Ricky Gervais: Mortality, the highly-anticipated fourth stand-up special from the multi-award-winning comedian, writer, and director, will have its global release on Monday 30th December.

Following the success of his previous Netflix specials, Humanity, Supernature, and the Golden Globe-winning Armageddon, the seven-time BAFTA winner is back on stage, as unfiltered as ever.

Filmed earlier this year at the London Palladium, the special will premiere on Netflix on Monday, December 30th. No topic is off limits as Ricky closes out the year with his best show yet. In a special that further solidifies his reputation as one of the most influential voices in comedy, Gervais takes on his own mortality in a brutally honest and darkly funny stand-up special about his life, death and the state of the world.

Ricky said: “I think Mortality is my most honest and confessional show so far and also my favourite tour. I still can’t believe what a privilege it is to fly around the world making people laugh.” After his last show Armageddon hit number 1 on Netflix in 2023, winning a Golden Globe and earning a Grammy nomination, whilst also claiming the world record for the highest-grossing comedy gig of all time (his show at LA's Hollywood Bowl), Gervais returned in 2024 with Mortality.
