In a development that could be either devastating or thrilling for fans of “The Office,” the famous show has been greenlit for a spin-off series.
The Peacock series will be a fresh mockumentary featuring a brand-new cast within the same universe as Dunder Mifflin — where all the fan favorite characters worked. However, the show will not be set in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but instead at a failing Midwestern paper company.
“Because this new series will technically be a spin-off instead of a straight reboot, we are at least avoiding the possibility that we get black trans Michael Scott or, I don’t know, nonbinary Mexican Jim Halpert,” Lauren Chen says, who is admittedly a huge fan of the original series.
But Chen is skeptical.
“NBC has been so very blatant in marketing it specifically as a spin-off to ‘The Office,’” Chen says. "They had the opportunity, there was the possibility, of just marketing this new as of yet untitled show as a new sitcom from the creator of ‘The Office.’”
“However, the fact that they are really making it clear that no, this is a spin-off of ‘The Office’ and it’s the same universe, it kind of seems like they’re cheaply trying to attach ‘The Office’ and all the goodwill and fandom that show now has to this new thing.”
“It feels very cheap,” she adds.
While fans of “The Office” have hoped that old cast members will return to the new show, Chen says the “lead stars of the original series are absolutely not interested in it.”
Steve Carell, who played Michael Scott in the original series, shot the idea down right away in an appearance on Stephen Colbert’s show.
“I doubt it,” Scott said when Colbert asked if he’d appear in the show.
“He’s not interested; he’s not in it,” Chen says.
“Keep in mind, this is someone who didn’t even want to finish the rest of the original series. He peaced out.”
John Krasinski, who played the beloved Jim Halpert in the original series, has also said he won’t be in the spin-off series either.
“I’m just not confident that it’s going to be done well. Maybe I’ll be proven wrong,” Chen says.

A Crisis For Every Month: The Worst Debacles, Disgraces, And (Literal) Train Wrecks Of Biden’s Third Year
If you're as overwhelmed by all the incompetence as Joe is by a set of stairs, here's your refresher course for year No. 3.We Should Think About Rome — But Not For Her Glories
There is much we can learn by studing Rome's descent into oblivion.THIS lesson from the 1970s rings true TODAY
There’s no doubt that 2023 has been chaotic, and for those born after the '70s, it’s been the most chaotic year yet.
But Glenn Beck remembers the '70s, and their own struggles weren't a far cry from the trials and tribulations of today: economic turmoil, despair, an energy crisis, and rampant crime.
Not only that but a growing disbelief in America.
“People were hopeless, disillusioned. They stopped believing in America. They stopped believing that things will get better,” Glenn says, noting that in 1978, he heard something that inspired him and many others.
And it’s something that he believes still rings true.
That is Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait,” featuring Henry Fonda — which Glenn has revamped to match the current tumultuous times.
“One of the greatest American composers, Aaron Copland, joined with Henry Fonda just to remind Americans of who they were, where they came from,” Glenn says, adding, “Henry Fonda took to the stage and he spoke. He spoke of the dark times and the hope of Abraham Lincoln.”
Glenn embellishes the composition with a quote from Ronald Reagan: “In the quest for freedom, we unite against darkness. The darkness of tyranny. Our nation, a beacon of hope, stands resilient against the bullies of the world. We inherit not just a land but a legacy of freedom that we must defend with unwavering courage.”
“Let us be unafraid in the face of evil. Our unity is our strength, and in that strength lies the power to shape a world that cherishes freedom and justice. Our destiny is not predetermined, it is only crafted by our own hands, our hearts, and our unwavering spirit,” he continues.
Glenn ends the composition on a positive note.
“We will find strength to build a world where freedom, justice, and hope flourish for all,” he reads.
