The Office creator Greg Daniels is teaming up with Nathan for You’s Michael Koman to develop a new series set in the same continuity, but it won’t be a sequel. Yay?
Sitcoms are the type of TV show that simply keeps working just fine for studios, streaming giants, and cable broadcasters. They’re cheap (and quick) to write and produce, and can go on for years, if not decades, if needed. Of course, with every Hollywood giant going through their library of once-successful properties, a reboot of The Office happening was only a matter of time.
Plans for a comeback of NBC’s hit American sitcom (there was also a pretty great BBC series) have been in motion for a while now, but a formal commitment hadn’t been announced yet. Now, Deadline has revealed Universal Television is doubling down on the potential spinoff series, which isn’t actually described as a reboot or remake, but instead as an in-continuity follow-up focusing on an entirely different office and company.
