Grab your bears, your beets, and your Battlestar Galactica because a new The Office is on its way! It's been more than 10 years since we said goodbye to Michael, Dwight, Jim, and Pam, and it looks like we'll be saying hello to a new cast of characters soon. The new iteration of our favorite comfort show won't be a reboot in the typical sense — even though it's within the same universe as the OG, it'll feature a brand new cast of characters. Here's everything you need to know about the newThe Office revival.
When is the new The Office coming out?
The Office reboot doesn't have a release date yet, but the show is scheduled to begin filming this July so we could see it as early as 2025! The series is coming to Peacock, which is where you can stream the original The Office now!

We finally have plot details for the new The Office show! According to the official logline, the series will follow the same fictional documentary crew behind the show-within-the-show: “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.”

Novak, Creed Bratton, Angela Kinsey, Oscar Nunez, Ellie Kemper, and Ed Helms.

Yes, Variety confirmed that Greg is leading the creative team alongside Michael Koman.
Chatting about a The Office reboot with Collider in 2022, Daniels was admittedly apprehensive. “[The Office] was such a wonderful and rare experience that obviously you don't want to just go back to it and kind of possibly disappoint people when right now, they couldn't be happier about it,” he says in the interview. “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, you know what I mean, like the way [The] Mandalorian is like an extension of Star Wars. But I don't know if that would be something people would want or not, it's hard to tell.”
What do people think about The Office reboot news?

The TV show, which ran for nine whole seasons, undoubtedly has a cult following, but not everyone is thrilled about a possible remake. “Please just stop with the reboots/remakes,” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I’m tired.”
“A reboot of a remake lord help us,” someone else said.
Based on fans’ reactions, it seems like they’re ready for newer, fresher shows and movies after the strike in Hollywood, rather than investing in all-too-familiar plot lines. Plenty of people will be thrilled to see the Scranton paper company back on screen, though! Fingers crossed we get more iconic episodes that will make us feel God in any and every Chili's.
