The news of The Office reboot has emerged in the wake of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) reaching a 'tentative agreement' with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AmPTP).
People everywhere have been frothing at the idea of a reboot for what seems to be everyone’s favourite office sitcom for years.
In a statement shared with union members via email, the organisation wrote: “[The] WGA has reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and the extraordinary support of our union siblings who joined us on the picket lines for over 146 days.”
In an article for Puck News, writers Matthew Belloni and Jonathan Handel speculated about the imminent future of the entertainment industry. Among other project updates, they claimed that Greg Daniels, The Office US’s creator, was looking to revamp the series.
“Greg Daniels is set to do a reboot of The Office, for instance,” they wrote. “Disney’s Dana Walden will finally be able to announce the return of her BFF Ryan Murphy from Netflix. A ton of high-profile movie scripts will come in. The industry will chug back to normal.”
An American mockumentary sitcom television series, The Office, depicts the everyday work lives of office employees at the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. It aired on NBC from March 24, 2005, to May 16, 2013, spanning a total of nine seasons.
