The 13-part series will air first in the US on HBO from February, to be screened in the UK in the spring.
The series is based on Gervais and his comedy partner Stephen Merchant's podcasts, which according to the Guinness Book of Records were the most downloaded podcast of 2007.
The series stars Gervais, Merchant and producer Karl Pilkington, described by the comedian as 'the star of the show'.
'He is a global village idiot, but the funniest man alive,' says Gervais.
'He thinks that a seal is a cross between a fish and a dog. Karl is a bottomless well of stupidity.
'Who'd have thought three blokes chatting in a room would turn out to be so lucrative?'
