Greg Daniels, has been planning for a reboot of the popular comedy series The Office. The US adaptation of The Office, which was based on the British mockumentary series of the same name, went on to become one of the most watched sitcoms in the early 2000s.??
The highly awaited The Office revival is apparently one step closer to happening, according to a new claim from The Hollywood Reporter, with Daniels supposedly putting together a writers room to craft a fresh perspective on the show.?
The Office reboot or revival rumors originally surfaced in 2019 after NBCUniversal Vice Chairman Bonnie Hammer expressed her desire to bring the series back for Peacock. Daniels, however, voiced his concerns about the possibility of a reboot and as late as November 2023, he declared unequivocally that ¡°the notion of a reboot is not of interest.¡± So instead of a reboot, he is interested in trying a spin-off.?
