Despite lackluster ratings, HBO has ordered a second season of The Ricky Gervais Show. Michael Lombardo, president of HBO programming, told the BBC that it was renewing the show because it has “sparked a loyal and enthusiastic following that is growing steadily.”
The show adds animation to old audio from Gervais’ record-breaking podcasts. Also appearing with Gervais are Stephen Merchant, Gervais’ longtime collaborator (The Office, Extras), and Karl Pilkington, whose nonsensical musings have caused Gervais to dub him “a global village idiot”.
Gervais and Merchant’s first film collaboration, Cemetery Junction, will be released in the UK on April 14th.

Seinfeld had lacklustre ratings to begin with, and went on to become the most successful sitcom of all-time. And the audio is just sitting there, waiting to become a great hit.
