“Extras” calling it a wrap after two seasons
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – The comedy “Extras” won’t return for a third season.
Writer-directors Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who also star alongside Ashley Jensen, have decided to forgo another season of the BBC2/HBO series in favor of bowing out with a special finale — the same way they ended their previous show, “The Office.”
“Extras” was nominated for an Emmy last year in the comedy series writing category; guest stars Kate Winslet, Ben Stiller and Patrick Stewart also received Emmy nominations. Gervais starred as a hapless actor looking for his big break.
