The Office spinoff: Will it be set in Scranton? Here's what we know about release date, cast, and setting

Whenever we think of legacy content like The Big Bang Theory, Suits, or The Office, the corner of our minds does not seem to accept the fact that the original adaptations of these series are officially over. Our denial has finally been heard by Peacock, who is working on a spinoff series inspired by The Office. If this wasn't good news enough, the original showrunner of The Office, Greg Daniels, is also on board this spinoff as the co-creator, according to a TV Guide report.

Is The Office getting a reboot?

One cannot claim this exactly as a reboot or revival of the show but is more like a spin-off. However, this series will not exactly follow the background of any particular character from the original series, claim reports. It will be based on a different set of characters entirely who are working in an office establishment in a city. If you are hoping that the setting will be in Scranton then it is not the case.

The Office spin-off: Cast, setting

Greg Daniels and Michael Koman are going to be the torchbearers for The Office spin-off as co-creators and executive producers. As mentioned above, Daniels has already developed the American adaptation of The Office which gives him ample experience of the fun and jolly vibe around the series that fans have loved watching through the years. The spinoff will see Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore as the lead, alongside other notable names.


The spinoff's characters will be working in a similar setting to the original series but from a different angle of business. This time, they will be in the business of selling newspapers and keeping local journalism alive, similar to the angle weaved in the original series that highlighted the crippling paper industry.
