EXCLUSIVE: The long-awaited expansion of The Office universe appears to be getting closer to becoming a reality.

Greg Daniels, who adapted NBC‘s The Office for American audiences based on the hit BBC series of the same name from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, is setting up a development room with his trusted writers, sources tell Deadline. It is set to begin work on Tuesday to explore ideas for a follow-up series.

The potential new series, which is not a reboot, would likely be set in a new office with new characters but live within the same world as the Steve Carell-led mockumentary series which follows employees at the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.

Prediction- This will be terrible because you can’t make fun of anyone anymore & the cast will be like walking into the U.N. The original Office could never happen today. It wouldn’t even be able the be Cast like that today. And it wasn’t even 20 years ago.

This is just using The Office name to make a new tv show. There are tons of shows based on people's job.

First episode is definitely a sensitivity training for the straight males at their microaggressions to the trans characters in the show

Just let this shite go. End the "marvel-izing" of entertainment.


There's also no way a new one retains any of the charm, wit, or comedy of the original. Even the original wouldn't be possible in the Hollywood of today.

South Park still exists, I love The Office but it’s nowhere near as edgy as some like to pretend it was

South park has been neutered and barely puts out anything besides a special or two every year.

Dwight will be the trans, Jim will be an Aunt Easter type (from Sanford and Son) and Pam will be a Richard Simmons impersonator.

So the dude that had to copy Ricky Gervais in the first place is going to do The Office Part II? "Long awaited" my arse. What's long awaited is something original.

They have to cancel out the proof in Al on to make room for more gays, trans, black and white couples and purple hair weirdos

South Park is grandfathered in. I mean, have you paid attention to any casting of any shows and movies these days?? We can’t even have accurate casting of actual historical figures anymore.

I’d give the show a chance though. Office is GOAT.
