After months of anticipation, there’s finally an update on the potential revival of “The Office,” the iconic US adaptation of Ricky Gervais’ UK series. According to sources from Deadline, creator Greg Daniels is actively working on ideas for a follow-up sister series.
While Gervais’ UK version had a concise two-season run, the US iteration enjoyed a nine-season journey spanning 201 episodes. Daniels is reportedly assembling a team of writers to explore new concepts for the beloved workplace comedy.
In a previous interview with The Wrap, Daniels emphasized his reluctance to view the project as a mere reboot, highlighting the satisfying conclusion the original series provided for its characters. He expressed a desire to delve back into “The Office” universe without retreading old ground or recasting iconic roles.
Rather than replicating the original show, Daniels envisions a spinoff akin to “The Mandalorian” in the “Star Wars” universe, exploring fresh narratives within the established world. While details about the spinoff’s storyline and characters remain under wraps, Daniels’ commitment to maintaining the integrity of the original cast suggests potential appearances from familiar faces.
As development progresses, fans eagerly await further updates on the teased spinoff series, anticipating another dive into the beloved world of “The Office.”
