The Office reboot has been a hot topic of conversation for years. The show is one of the most beloved TV series of all time. The comedy brought fans tons of laughter and made them fall in love with the wacky and unique characters who worked at the Dunder Mifflin office in Scranton. Now, fans are reportedly going to be transported back into that universe with a new reboot that’s said to be in the works.
The Office reboot details are few and far between
“The Office” aired on NBC from 2005 to 2013. The show starred Steve Carell as Michael Scott, the manager at a paper company called Dunder Mifflin. His employees included Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute), John Krasinski (Jim Halpert), Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly), and more. Carrell opted to leave the show in Season 7, and the series carried on without him. The series was adapted from the UK version of the show, which starred Ricky Gervais. The show even featured epic guest stars like James Spader, Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey, and Evan Peters.
The reboot news was first reported by Puck News. However, the details surrounding the plans are scarce. However, the outlet reveals that the show will be announced soon now that the writers’ strike has been resolved. Of course, fans have a lot of thoughts about the news.
Fans react to news of The Office revival
Yes, fans love “The Office.” However, a reboot isn’t exactly what everyone wants to see. Why some would be thrilled to watch a continuation of the Dunder Mifflin story and maybe even see cameos from the original stars. However, others aren’t as thrilled.
“It ended 10 years ago! It’s fresh in our minds… Hollywood doesn’t have the capacity to remake any of the productions that were hits… they are experts at removing all the aspects that made them popular to begin with,” one fan tweeted. “There are two scenarios, it will be completely woke and will flop hard or it will be the real Office and will be cancelled because someone will feel offended,” another said. “No, absolutely not. The original was perfect, no need to re-do it,” another commented. “This will only do well if every cast member comes back,” another stated.
What would an Office revival look like?
Fans of “The Office” know that the show is all about the characters and the comedy. So, it may be hard to convince fans to fall in love with new characters, even if they are working in the Dunder Mifflin office. Of course, viewers would want to see what Jim, Pam, Dwight, Angela, Michael, and the rest of the gang are up to in the present day. Although, it may be difficult to get the original group back together.
However, the show could feature a new documentary series and a possible reunion of the original Dunder Mifflin crew. Only time will tell if “The Office” reboot will take shape and how it could play out
