The office isn’t even that old….is it?
The article mentioned it ended in 2013, so that's about 10 years ago; but I don't think studios reboot franchises because there's a new story to tell in the modern era, I think it's because studios sense there's money left to be milked from the series.
With Greg Daniels attached, I hope it's not just a blatant cash grab, but it's hard to far l say, this early on.
I guess I just don’t see 10 years as old enough for a reboot. Or even that old for a tv show. I think reboots, I think like She-ra or Saved by the bell or something. Rebooting the office while people still rewatch it heavily just seems weird.
I agree, but I suspect this is mostly being pushed through because Comcast needs more "Peacock exclusives" or something, not because they believe in it.
Having said that; that doesn't mean it won't turn out to be a good show against the odds. The fact that it sounds like a mostly new cast is certainly a good sign (to me).
Yea, I agree. I’d be willing to give it a chance.
Just seems creatively lazy when there’s so many new stories/ideas yet to be written.
It ended over 10 years ago
