Plans for a comeback of NBC’s hit US sitcom (which also has a pretty good BBC series) have been in the works for some time, but no formal commitment has been announced. Now, Deadline has revealed that Universal TV is doubling down on the potential spin-off series, which isn’t actually being described as a reboot or remake, but rather as a continuation that focuses on a completely different office and company.
Before Comedy Central’s Nathan for You (2013-2017) co-creator Michael Korman “became a leading creative voice,” Daniels was reportedly “working with a group of writers on The Office Universe.” Extension”. The choice makes sense, as “Nathan for You” is another documentary-like workplace comedy that works so well that it makes Corman a perfect fit to lead a team of writers and try to open up an enticing enough stage. In addition, Koeman and Daniels also have many connections in real life, so this is not the first time they have collaborated.
In fact, both Universal and Daniels view the yet-to-be-greenlighted series as a spiritual successor rather than a nostalgic continuation of a story that ended in a (mostly) satisfying way in 2013. The facts are encouraging. Many beloved sitcoms, like Family Fun , are resurrected but struggle to hit the mark, ultimately cheapening the original conclusion.
After years of trying to make an Office reunion, maybe the best thing to do is put the original series behind you… even if there might be an exciting cameo.
