The Office Reboot: Everything We Know

In today's digital age, paper is becoming more useless than ever. It was comedy gold for nine seasons of NBC's The Office, one of the most successful sitcoms of all time—and the latest mega-hit to garner a massive fan campaign for a revival. A sequel series may not arrive, but it looks like the long-anticipated reboot is finally on the horizon. Cue the "Michael Scott It's Happening" GIF.

It's some of the first major news we've seen following this weekend's tentative agreement between the WGA and Hollywood's major studios. Matthew Belloni of Puck News reported that The Office creator Greg Daniels is currently working on a reboot of the beloved series. Though there's no news yet on casting, many actors including John Krasinski (Jim), Jenna Fischer (Pam), Angela Kinsey (Angela), Leslie David Baker (Stanley), and Creed Bratton (Creed) have expressed their willingness to return over the years.

"The Office was absolutely everything to me," Krasinski told Esquireback in 2020."I mean, it is my beginning and my end. I'm pretty sure at the end of my career I'll still be known for Jim. That was my first experience with Hollywood. It was the first creative family I've ever had. In many ways, they will always be the most important people in that most important experience in my career. So yeah, if they did a reunion, I would absolutely love to do it."

Daniels previously hinted at the show's return back in February 2022, during an interview with Collider. "[The Office] was such a wonderful and rare experience that obviously you don't want to just go back to it and kind of possibly disappoint people when right now, they couldn't be happier about it," he said. "I think it would just be sort of like an extension of the universe, you know what I mean, like the way [The] Mandalorian is like an extension of Star Wars."

Does that mean we can look forward to Dwight Schrute in Mandalorian armor? Count me in.
