Despite the fact that there is little information available about the special, the producers have revealed details about A Whole Lifetime with Jamie Demetriou in press comments. The special will “unpack the most crucial, humiliating, uplifting, and ultimately useless phases of a life lived in the nervous contemporary day,” according to Demetriou.
In an interview with Variety, BBC Studios Director of Comedy Josh Cole described Demetriou as “an extraordinary writer and performer,” adding that the special would take audiences on an “excruciating, uproarious, beautifully observed voyage through contemporary life.”
Executive producers Jonny Sweet and Simon Bird praised Demetriou’s ability to “arrange these diverse, catastrophic, and often comparatively dense personalities into one gorgeous picture of life as he sees it.” Although no official trailer for A Whole Lifetime with Jamie Demetriou has been released, Netflix has shared a clip of a skit from the nearly hour-long show in which Demetriou plays a character named Lexi. Lexi and his companion are shown dealing with an awkward situation involving the former’s mother’s criticism of the current generation.
