THE OFFICE Spinoff Set in the Same World as Dunder Mifflin Is Taking Off and Gets a Synopsis and Streaming Home
It has been announced that the spinoff series set in the same world as the NBC hit show The Office has found a home, streaming at Peacock, and new details have been revealed including a synopsis for the show.
The Untitled Greg Daniels and Michael Koman-created comedy mockumentary series set in the same universe as Dunder Mifflin. Domhnall Gleeson (About Time, Ex Machina) and Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus) will lead the ensemble cast of the show, which is set to begin production in July.
The announcement from Peacock provides the first official details about the premise of the offshoot. The new Universal Television-produced series will see “the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.”
It was revealed at the beginning of the year that Daniels opened up a development room to explore ideas for a follow-up series to the Emmy-winning The Office. The new project is not a reboot.
To date, the small group of Daniels’ most trusted writers have penned multiple episodes for the first seasons, we hear, as casting continues with a focus on the office staff and potentially one more series lead.
I like this idea for the new series, and I think it could really work. We will keep you guys updated with more info as the project progresses.
