After two seasons, Ricky Gervais' "Derek" will wrap up with a special which has been previewed in a trailer. In the one-hour "Derek Special", Hannah (Kerry Godliman) and Tom (Brett Goldstein) are planning a wedding, and Kevin (David Earl) is in hospital.

Derek faces a lot of changes, including a baby and potential goodbyes. Tom gets a new job, which allows him to spend more time with her, but Derek worries that Hannah won't come back. Derek is also unhappy with Hannah for upsetting Kev, who goes missing. Meanwhile, Vicky (Holli Dempsey) takes on more responsibilities.

The special will be available Friday, April 3 on Netflix, while the first and second seasons of "Derek" are currently streaming. "It always seems to be two series and a special. I did it with 'The Office', 'Extras', 'Idiot Abroad' and, now, 'Derek'," said Gervais, who also writes, directs and produces the series. "The way I write and the way I develop characters and the overall arc, that seems to be the optimum length for me."

Gervais earned an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination for his role on the comedy-drama series.
