Prime Video statement

'The physical office is a timeless precinct for comedy'

Prime Video highlighted the enduring appeal of The Office, stating, "It was over 20 years ago that the world was introduced to the wonderfully bleak mockumentary world of The Office—created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant."

"While many aspects of the workplace have changed since [the original], especially post-2020, the physical office is a timeless precinct for comedy and one that will never tire an audience as long as the characters are faced with relatable dilemmas, and entertaining and hilarious."
