Ricky Gervais has another TV sitcom in the pipeline called “Life’s Too Short”, Johnny Depp has signed up for a spot on the show. Gervais confirmed the news himself by writing on his blog “This Side of The Truth“. But he also confirms the rumor that Jerry Seinfeld will take part is just that, a rumor;
“The Depp bit is true. The Seinfeld bit isn’t.”
The shows story revolves around the day to day frustrations experienced by Warwick Davis. His character is an egomaniac dwarf who runs a talent agent for dwarves. As Gervais describes the show;
“Third in our trilogy of TV sitcoms, Life’s Too Short is another naturalist observational comedy, dealing with everyday problems, human foibles and social faux pas… but with a dwarf.”
The new BBC2 comedy is expected to have various cameo’s by big names. Gervais has co-written the sitcom with his longtime creative partner Stephen Merchant and they are both likely to cameo in the show themselves. “Life’s Too Short” will also air on HBO as a six episode series.
