Greg Daniels has previously hinted at a reboot of the series. In 2022, he told Collider: “I can’t tell whether fans would want more of it, and when I say more of it, I don’t think it would be the same characters.
“I think it would just be sort of like an extension of the universe… I don’t know if that would be something people would want or not, it’s hard to tell.”
All seasons of The Office US are available to watch on Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
