The Office universe is expanding once again with a new mockumentary-style comedy series in the works at Peacock. The new show, which will be produced by Universal Television, is not a reboot or spinoff of The Office but rather a fresh take set in the same universe.
According to reports, Greg Daniels and Michael Koman are leading the ensemble cast of the new series. Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore have been confirmed as two of the stars. The documentary crew, who previously immortalized Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch, are now in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.
Rainn Wilson and Jenna Fischer are among the Office stars rumored to appear in ad skits or reprise roles. Steve Carell and John Krasinski have also reunited for a behind-the-scenes clip.
The Office, which originally ran from 2005 to 2013, gained popularity long after leaving the airwaves and found new life when it became available to stream. The show starred Steve Carell as Michael Scott, who bumbled his way through leading an office of quirky characters at the Scranton, Pennsylvania paper company. Carell left the five-time Emmy-winning show after seven seasons but returned for its finale.
The new series is expected to begin production in July.
