The second series of After Life, written by and starring Ricky Gervais, comes to Netflix on April 24th.  Assuming it follows the same format as the first season, this means it will include 6 episodes.

We’ll be watching the first two episodes on April 24th, the next two on April 25th and the final two on April 26th.  Netflix Party allows you to syncronize your viewing and opens a chat box on the side so you can make comments to each other as you watch.

If would be a good idea to watch the first season on Netflix prior to joining, as this is a continuation of the storyline. The first season is available on netflix.

To join these parties you will require:
1) Google Chrome Browser on a laptop or PC
2) A netflix membership
3) Netflix Party download : https://www.netflixparty.com/

The party link invite will be posted on our website about 30 minutes beforehand.   You will need to click on the red NP icon beside the address bar to join a party after clicking on the party invite link.
