BBC orders more 'Extras'

(Posted August 18, 2005 by Leah Yoakum)

The BBC has commissioned a second season of "Extras" -- Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's comedy follow-up to hit satire "The Office."

"Extras," which averages 3.9 million viewers in its Thursday airings on BBC 2, is due to premiere on HBO September 25.

Gervais stars as a background actor with dim hopes of screen stardom, while Merchant plays his bumbling agent. Ben Stiller, Vinnie Jones and Kate Winslet have made cameos.
