The Office: A reboot of the cult series is in the works?

This is news that we did not expect! Although the Screenwriters Union managed to reach an agreement with the organization that unites the major film and television studios, ending the strike that paralyzed Hollywood for 146 days, the project was unexpected, to say the least. Heart discussions between fans of the series.

According to the American media Puck News, a reboot of the cult TV series The Office is currently in development. A new feature to be piloted by Greg Daniels, the screenwriter who adapted the UK version created by Ricky Gervais. Filming for this reset should begin after the strike ends.

If Greg Daniels has often expressed skepticism about the idea of ​​continuing The Office, the screenwriter has changed his mind in recent months and is working on a new version.

In February 2022, he already introduced the vision of the project in an interview Collider. “I can’t say if the fans want to see more, and when I say see more, I mean it’s not going to be the same characters.”

“I think it’s going to be an expansion of the universe, if you know what I mean, kind of like The Mandalorian expanding on Star Wars. But I don’t know if it’s something people want to see or not, it’s hard to say.”

Airing on NBC from 2005 to 2013, The Office follows the daily lives of a group of office workers at a paper mill in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Run by a completely insane boss, Michael Scott (Steve Carell), this office is anything but ordinary.

For 8 years, this mockumentary has captivated viewers and remains one of the most popular sitcoms on the small screen. Now it remains to be seen if there will be early fans if this reboot of The Office sees the light of day… feedback in the coming months.

In the meantime, you can watch all 9 seasons in full on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.
