It has been eleven years since the American started in 2005 The office (which is Ricky Gervais’ remake of the original English version that ran on the BBC between 2001 and 2003) has ended, but the series is still experiencing a renaissance: social media is still full of its iconic memes, its best scenes live on TikTok their many blooms, and the viewers still can’t get enough of it: according to the viewing figures, together with other classics such as good friendsthe Seinfeld or the Hotel of heartsstill clicked by millions.
It’s no wonder, then, that the idea of a sequel comes up again and again. In 2019, the Will & Grace at the time of its revival, creator Greg Daniels even stated that he would not like to ruin such a perfectly successful series as The office, and he doesn’t want to disappoint his fans either. A year later, at a TV festival, the head of NBC, which originally broadcast the series, explained that if Daniels thought so too, they would be buyers for another series. What exactly this would have been was shrouded in mystery – however, they could mostly have thought of the nowadays fashionable revival, i.e. renovation, in which the original cast would also return; because what is the series worth without Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer or Rainn Wilson.
However, Daniels clarified in 2022: not a renovation, not even a remake, but one of a kind The office on Tévés Universe think. “It would be an extension of the office universe, as it were The Mandalorian did that a Star Warsthread. But I don’t know if that’s something that people actually want, it’s hard to say.” he admitted.

Speculations about the series took a new turn last year: shortly after the writers reached an agreement with the producers and ended their strike, which had not been seen since human memory, the news broke again that it would continue The office. A few days later, Daniels himself dispelled the rumors, claiming that it was all just speculation.
If all these twists weren’t enough, here’s another one: not only is something new actually being made The office-series, but it already has two actors: signed Domhall Gleesonwho is mainly From time to time as the main character, as well as the Star Wars-franchise can be known as Hux’s General, and the wider audience is last year’s The White Lotusnoticed him in the season. Gleeson writes while the other signed character is Sabrina Impacciatore is Italian, so the new series already looks more colorful than the old one featuring almost exclusively American actors. What exactly they will appear in, revival, reboot or spin-off, is not yet known. That much seems certain that it is new The office it will take place in the world of the previous series. Recently, however, Daniels was joined by Michael Koman, who appeared on the most original, quasi-reality shows of recent years, Nathan for Youon and a On the advice of John Wilson also worked as a writer. However, there is no presentation date yet, as no studio or channel has officially joined the production yet.
