Get your staplers out of their Jello because US network NBC is reportedly looking to revive beloved sitcom The Office for the 2018-2019 season.
Ever since this year’s Will & Grace reboot went reasonably well, TV executives have been chomping at the bit to get in on that sweet, sweet nostalgia money and the American version of The Office is next in line.
As reported by TVLine, the new season will still take place in Dunder Mifflin’s iconic Scranton, PA. branch and will feature a mix of new and old castmates. However, Steve Carell’s Michael Scott, a.k.a the heart and soul of The Office, will not be involved in the new series.
While NBC hasn’t yet commented on this development, earlier in the year, network president Bob Greeblatt told Deadline that The Office was next on his wishlist.
“We often talk about The Office,” Greenblatt said.
“I’ve talked to Greg [Daniels] four times over the past few years. It’s always, ‘Maybe someday, but not now’.
Maybe, just maybe, that someday is now. Either way, let’s all celebrate with a bowl of Kevin’s famous chili.
