Summary

• The Office reboot is reportedly confirmed with original developer Greg Daniels returning and assembling a writer's room.
• The WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes may have delayed the project, but with those resolved, more news is expected soon.
• Sabrina Impacciatore and Domhnall Gleeson have reportedly been cast in the reboot.

The Office reboot is reportedly in the works for the show's new home of Peacock, and while there's been little concrete news on the revival there's still been teases at what to expect from a return to Dunder Mifflin. Despite ending in 2013, The Office found a resurgence of popularity after the series began streaming on Netflix. As one of Netflix's most-watched titles, the streamer took a hit when the rights reverted to NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock. With the sitcom still fresh on viewers' minds, the notion of a reboot remains a topic of discussion.

Based on the UK series of the same name, Greg Daniels created The Office in 2005 when it debuted on NBC. With the mockumentary format and wide variety of characters led by inept manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell), The Office found its footing in season 2. It then became a bonafide hit for the network throughout its nine-season run before coming to an end in 2013. Talk of a revival of The Office has steadily gained momentum in the years since, and the reboot finally having a release date feels closer than ever.

The Office Reboot Cast

New Cast Members Have Been Revealed

the reboot has already added two new names to its fledgeling ensemble, and that suggests the cast may be mostly original.

While many fans would doubtless like the entirety of the original cast to return, the revival will likely feature many new cast members alongside a handful of familiar faces. Many cast members from The Office have continued their acting careers through TV or movies. Some like Steve Carell and John Krasinki are consistently expanding their careers as headlining actors. Jenna Fischer has spoken about The Office reboot, and revealed that she has not been approached yet.

The White Lotus' Sabrina Impacciatore will reportedly appear as part of the large ensemble, as will Domhnall Gleeson of Star Wars fame. Nothing is known about the new characters, and they are probably only the first of many new names that will be revealed in the future.

The Office Reboot Story Details

Nothing Is Known About The Reboot's Story

There haven't been any reveals around The Office reboot plot. However, Greg Daniels stated that it would be fun to set new episodes during the show's original run. He referred to them as "lost episodes," which would be documentary footage filmed during the previously broadcast episodes (via MovieWeb). This method would avoid issues caused by the fact that many characters left Scranton and Dunder Mifflin by the end of the series finale.

The alternate option for The Office reboot plot is to return to Dunder Mifflin in the 2020s with a mixed cast of fresh and familiar faces, picking up for another installment of the in-universe "mockumentary". This would ensure some of the original cast members could return easily, as they'd simply still be working at Dunder Mifflin. It would also mean any non-returning characters could easily be explained away as having found new jobs between the original run and The Office reboot.
