Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have decided to turn down BBC's offer for a third season of their beloved, award-winning Extras. This comes as no big surprise, a few weeks after Gervais joked with the AV Club about not ever being able to do more than two seasons of anything. Just like The Office, everything will be wrapped up neatly with an extra-long Extras special, which is now in the early stages of development. It will almost definitely feature more real-life celebrities making fools of themselves, but there's no word on whether they'll be pulled from Gervais' recently announced dream team, which includes Mel Gibson and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Gervais has also stopped doing his interview series Ricky Gervais Meets..., reportedly because of his bizarre chat with Garry Shandling, which was either a complete disaster or an amusing tribute to the awkward conversation seen on both men's shows. There's no word on ehether his already-taped discussions with Jerry Seinfeld and pre-meltdown Michael Richards will ever air.
Meanwhile, there seem to be no set plans for the duo's future, but Gervais is continuing to perform his live stand-up show Fame, recently adding a mess of dates at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, after selling out three shows at the Royal Albert Hall.
