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.

How is a cooking show more in common with reality tv than a tv show?

If you want plot driven stuff, I dunno there’s Joel Haver shorts and probably a million others on there.

TV shows I look for are more narrative driven stories that are unfolding with characters and plot.

Cooking show is more in the realm of reality TV with less scripted presentation even though it is scripted. It's easier to find traditional TV show and talk show alternatives on YouTube than there is to find series along the vein of Fargo, Succession, The Office, House of the Dragon, etc.

Joe Haver is more shorts or skits, but not what I'm looking for. It's why I keep coming back to VGHS. It was the most ambitious attempt at offering a TV show on YouTube.

That's the type of narrative creativity that I'm looking for over usual x person talking and explaining or summarizing things that usually tends be the general YouTube content. Or some short skits.

Lenghty story driven content is just not really prevalent on YouTube, or have much selection if there is like there is when it comes to the numerous shows on Netflix to select from. Not surprising either given the budget required for TV shows and movies, which is why there's been no more VGHS type ambitious projects I know of that showed on YouTube since then.
