Below, check out the trailer for the upcoming second season of DEREK, starring Ricky Gervais. The award-winning comedy drama returns to Channel 4 in the UK on 23rd April 2014 for a brand new series - and on Netflix around the world soon after.

Written, starring directed and executive-produced by Gervais, "Derek" also stars David Earl, Karl Pilkington and Kerry Godliman. A 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 new season, a year has gone by since we last visited Broadhill Retirement Home and there's some new residents, additions to the staff and the welcome return of a few familiar faces.
