A reboot of The Office is one step closer to becoming a reality. Per THR, Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus) and Domhnall Gleeson (White House Plumbers) have been cast in the potential reboot series created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman.
The American version of The Office ran for nine seasons on NBC and stars Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, B. J. Novak, Melora Hardin, David Denman, Leslie David Baker, Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery, Angela Kinsey, Oscar Nunez, Phyllis Smith, Ed Helms, Mindy Kaling, Paul Lieberstein, Creed Bratton, Craig Robinson, and Ellie Kemper. The story follows those who work at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.
Daniels opened a development room for the reboot in January, but there have been rumors of the possibility of a reboot or revival of the NBC comedy for years.
The following was said about the reboot:
Reps for Universal Television, which is producing the updated take from creators Greg Daniels and Michael Koman (Nathan for You), declined to comment as the details surrounding the project remain closely guarded. A platform for the project has not yet been determined as sources say Daniels and the studio want to make sure the take is right before setting it up at a network/streamer. Peacock remains the exclusive streaming home for Daniels’ The Office after paying millions to secure the rights back from Netflix, where the show reached millions of new fans.
Details on roles that Impacciatore and Gleeson are playing are being kept under wraps given the huge expectations that come along with anything connected to this new incarnation of The Office, though sources say Daniels and Koman have been casting a wide net to find talent availabilities for the latter half of this year.
