Co-Creator of the Office Says No to Notion of a Reboot
There was buzz of a The Office reboot, but co-creator Greg Daniels has corrected the narrative.
"I feel like we ended that story beautifully. The characters had closure. I would never want to redo that same show with a different cast, because I think we got the luckiest cast, the best cast ever, in TV, to do that show. So the notion of a reboot is not of interest", he told The Wrap.
He clarified by saying he'd take on something in the realm of a spin-off, continuing the universe while leaving the original story untouched.
"Maybe something like the way The Mandalorian is a new show in the Star Wars universe," Daniels said could be of interest. "Something like the notion of this documentary crew doing a documentary about a different subject...That, I think, could be intriguing and creative. But I don't even know what you would call that. I don't know if that's like a sister show or something. I don't know what the term is. But it doesn't feel like 'reboot' would be the appropriate term for that."
So fans of The Office can chill. The originals will remain untouched, but an extension of the universe may be on the cards in the future.
