Season two of Netflix’s critically acclaimed comedy/drama Derek will arrive on May 30, 2014 at 12:01am PT, but you don’t have to wait that long to see what’s in store on the new season. Netflix has released an official trailer for the upcoming second season which returns with Ricky Gervais in the title role. Gervais also writes, directs, and executive produces the series.
The cast also includes Karl Pilkington, Kerry Godliman, and David Earl.
The Plot: An Award-winning bittersweet comedy-drama about a group of outsiders living on society’s margins, 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. 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.
In the second season, Derek’s kindness has truly extended to those around him as he forges new friendships. The retirement home’s residents and employees have built a familial community and Derek’s positive outlook and good-natured spirit allows them to persevere through the difficult times that they sometimes face.
