AFTER Life stars have toyed with the idea of a possible spin-off series – but there’s a catch.
Straight-talking widower Tony Johnson returned for After Life’s final chapter last month, with fans devastated that the show was coming to an end.
Tony and his journey of grief following the death of his wife Lisa provided many a tear-jerking moment during its three-season run on Netflix.
However, there were still plenty of moments of hope and laughter courtesy of not only Ricky Gervais’ character, but the other residents of Tambury too.
And a couple who emerged at the end of the series as one of the show’s most popular duos was June and Lenny.
Jo Hartley – who portrays June – later teased that the cast could “definitely do more” with the sitcom in the future.
Speaking at a recent press event, Jo and her on-screen partner Lenny – played by Tony Clay – opened up on filming the final season.
“I know that we’ll all work with Ricky again, he said it the other night,” she revealed.
“I think he’s finished it at the right time, but I think he could do a Christmas special.”
Ricky has previously said that he won’t rule out making another series – but only if Netflix keeps putting money on the table.

Sadly, for now, it does seem unlikely that Gervais will be working on a new script as he is currently preparing for his new stand-up tour.
Likewise, it seems that any After Life spin-off series won’t be on the cards for some time yet.
All three seasons of After Life are available to stream on Netflix.
