Latest News about Ricky Gervais
Reports said Gervais was planning his own content to mark the 25th anniversary of The Office rather than participating in BBC-led anniversary coverage. The story followed claims that he had snubbed the broadcaster, which his representative denied by explaining he would celebrate the milestone in his own way.
Coverage around his Netflix animated series Alley Cats said Gervais wanted to keep making the show indefinitely, describing it as a project he would like to continue for years. The piece came alongside previews and reviews ahead of the series release.
Ricky Gervais announced a new stand-up world tour titled Legend, with the first UK dates scheduled from September through December 2026 and additional international legs planned for 2027. The announcement confirmed arena shows across the UK, Europe, and North America as part of the rollout.
