Netflix releases trailer for Ricky Gervais’ Derek, streaming begins September 12th

Netflix releases trailer for Ricky Gervais' Derek, coming September 12th to Netflix

A few more of these, and it won’t even be news. Netflix is going hard into the original content business, and judging by the outstanding results with House of Cards, we’re guessing that it’ll be aiming for similar results with a different demographic here. Derek, described as something of a comedy / drama mishmash, is fronted by the affable Ricky Gervais. The show actually aired as Dramedy over on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, so while it’s not exactly a Netflix original, it’s getting “original treatment.” Per usual, the entire season will be available to stream at once on September 12th (overwhelming, we know), and if you’re looking to decide just how much time you should set aside, the trailer is embedded after the break.
