HBO Will Air A 'Hello Ladies' Movie To Conclude The Series

After multiple successful TV shows with partner Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant didn't have the same success with the HBO show Hello Ladies. It had some fans, both critical and general, but never caught hold of pop culture like other HBO shows and was thought to be done after one season. Well, in classic Merchant fashion, the series is getting one more shot to wrap everything up. HBO will air Hello Ladies: The Movie on November 22nd at 10 p.m.

HBO announced the news via press release, which we saw on Indiewire. A TV movie is a fitting end to the series, simply because that's how Merchant has closed out his other shows such as The Office and Extras. Those were "Christmas specials" but they were also like 90 minutes episodes of the show. Basically a movie.

Here's the full press release. Will you be checking out the Hello Ladies movie?
