'The Office' spinoff series finalizes its first cast members
It's time to go back to Dunder Mifflin, albeit with new characters this time. The much-anticipated spinoff of the genre-defining NBC comedy The Office has locked its first two cast members. Sabrina Impacciatore, known for The White Lotus, and Domhnall Gleeson, recognized for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, are set to join the ensemble comedy. Universal Television is producing this new iteration, with creators Greg Daniels and Michael Koman leading the project.
Details of 'The Office' spinoff series remain under wraps
While the excitement builds for the new series, specifics about the project are yet to be disclosed. This fresh take on The Office is not a remake or reboot of the 2005 mockumentary but will exist within the same universe. The roles that Impacciatore and Gleeson will play are being kept secret and it remains to be seen which other actors will come aboard.
Impacciatore and Gleeson's notable works and upcoming projects
Impacciatore's performance in HBO's The White Lotus earned her an Emmy nomination, and she has also featured in Call My Agent. She is set to appear in Julian Schnabel's upcoming film In the Hand of Dante, alongside Oscar Isaac. Gleeson, meanwhile, recently completed filming for the FX limited series The Patient, co-starring Steve Carell, and can currently be seen in PBS's Alice & Jack. He also has credits for HBO's Run and David Mandel's limited series The White House Plumbers.
Streaming platform for 'The Office' spinoff yet to be decided
The platform for the spinoff series is still undecided. The studio is focused on ensuring that the take on the new series is right before setting it up on a network or streamer. Notably, the announcement comes during a busy period for Daniels, who recently secured a final season renewal for his Amazon comedy Upload and is collaborating with Mike Judge on a new season of King of the Hill.
Meanwhile, here's a refresher on the original
The spectacular original ran for nine seasons and starred a memorable ensemble cast starring Carell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, and Mindy Kaling, among others. It focused on the employees of Dunder Mifflin, Scranton as they traverse the highs and lows of their intricately woven personal and professional lives. A comedic gem that only gets better with each viewing, it is streaming on Netflix, JioCinema, and Amazon Prime Video.
