Ricky Gervais’ Derek will air a one-hour special on Netflix premiering on April 3, 2015 at 12:01am PT, and a first-look trailer along with a poster for the special have just arrived. The Derek Special stars Gervais, Brett Goldstein, Kerry Godliman, and David Earl, and will be available to Netflix subscribers in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Nordics and Benelux.
Gervais earned both Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for his performance in the series which is currently streaming seasons one and two on Netflix.
The Plot: Derek centers around Derek Noakes (Gervais), a tender, innocent man whose love for his job at a retirement home shines through. Derek cares deeply for the home’s residents, because they are kind and funny and tell him stories of what life used to be like. Among those in his life are Kev (Earl), a lovable train wreck who lives with Derek and spends most of his time lazing around the home; and Hannah (Godliman), a care worker in the home and Derek’s best friend. She is smart, witty and hard-working, and, like Derek, always puts other people first.
In the Derek Special, Tom (Goldstein) has a new job, which allows him to spend more time with Hannah. Will this allow their relationship to flourish? Derek is upset with Hannah for upsetting Kevin, who goes missing, whilst Vicky takes on more responsibilities.
