‘The Office’ Reboot Reportedly In The Works

The return of The Office to television screens seems promising as the conclusion of the Hollywood writers’ strike approaches.

On Sunday, the Writers Guild of America revealed that they had reached a “tentative agreement” with studios and streaming platforms regarding their terms. The conclusion marked the end of over four months since it commenced in May.

“WGA has reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP,” a statement read. “This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who joined us on the picket lines for over 146 days.”

In response to this recent development, with writers and figures in the entertainment industry sharing their reactions, reports are beginning to surface regarding the implications of the strike’s conclusion for Hollywood productions.

In an article published on Puck News, authors Matthew Belloni and Jonathan Handel offered their insights into the near future of the entertainment industry. Among the various project updates they provided, they also suggested that Greg Daniels, the creator of The Office, was exploring the possibility of revitalizing the series.

“Greg Daniels is set to do a reboot of The Office, for instance,” they wrote. “Disney’s Dana Walden will finally be able to announce the return of her BFF Ryan Murphy from Netflix. A ton of high-profile movie scripts will come in. The industry will chug back to normal.”

The American adaptation of ‘The Office’ aired for nine seasons, from 2005 to 2013. This remake of the original UK sitcom revolved around the daily lives of the employees working at a fictitious paper and stationery company in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
