A The Office reboot is reportedly in the works, with the original American showrunner attached to return.

The news about the reboot came in the context of mentioning all the projects and deals that are going to be announced once the writers' strike officially ends. There's no word yet on casting.

it would be set in the same overall universe but not necessarily feature the same characters. However, some The Office cast members, including John Krasinski and Mindy Kaling, have expressed they’d be open to revisiting their famous roles if the circumstances were right.

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.
