It has been years even since David Brent made that cameo on the U.S. version of The Office or gave guitar lessons.
Finally, Ricky Gervais has brought back Brent back in full form, trying to live his dream of becoming a music legend in David Brent: Life on the Road. You can get a taste of it with the trailer.
As of today, the long awaited mockumentary is now streaming on Netflix.
If you’re really getting antsy for the upcoming rock mockumentary David Brent: Life on the Road, an offshoot of the British version of The Office, then you’ll probably really get a kick of how insufferable David Brent continues to be this music video for his original song “Lady Gypsy”.
America! You can watch #LifeOnTheRoad exclusively on @Netflix next year. Or you can fly to The UK to watch in movie theatres this August 🙂
The movie spin-off of the British version of The Office that follows David Brent’s forced music career will come across the pond via Netflix exclusively. In the ongoing and growing streaming service rivalries, this is a pretty big get for Netflix
There isn’t a set release date yet, but Netflix will have plenty of stuff between now and then to binge watch.

You can thank Open Road for planning to bring David Brent back stateside.
“Life on the Road”, the mockumentary spinoff where David Brent from the original version of The Office attempts going on a tour on his own dime with his band Foregone Conclusion.
Expect more awkward attempts at anthems like Equality Street.
Look for a wide U.S. theatrical release of “Life on the Road” sometime later next year.

Looks like David Brent is headed the way of Alan Partridge. He’s not going to be held up in a radio station as a hostage like Steve Coogan’s Partridge, but Ricky Gervais’ Brent from the original The Office is officially getting a full length feature movie.
Following his escapades into making a go at his dream of being a rock star, Life On The Road will follow Brent on a self-financed tour. Production starts in 2015 and we can only now ponder if Gervais playing music as the character of David Brent is going better when Gervais made a legitimate attempt at being a pop star.
