The comedian announced on his website that he had just finished editing the pilot for the show, which will be distributed on the web.
He gave few details about the show besides saying he might charge viewers a small fee to cover production costs and that it would be subtitled into as many languages as possible.
The first episode, he said, would be free.
"I'm thinking of making a clean version of the pilot available for download so people can put their own subtitles on it and repost it," Gervais wrote on his blog. "You can do a Klingon version if you want."
Web series are swiftly gaining in popularity. Last month Jerry Seinfeld premiered Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, in which he drives around town in vintage cars, yaks about nothing in particular with fellow comics, then stops off for a coffee.
