Peacock Announces, ‘The Office’ Reboot Set in a Fresh Location

NBC’s legendary sitcom, “The Office,” is set for a comeback with a reboot confirmed by Peacock. However, unlike its predecessor, the new series will shift its focus from the iconic Dunder Mifflin Paper Company to a struggling Midwestern newspaper.

Fans of “The Office” can breathe a sigh of relief as news of the reboot brings excitement, although some may feel a tinge of disappointment that it won’t revisit the familiar halls of Dunder Mifflin in Scranton

While the title for the reboot remains undisclosed, Peacock revealed that the series will center around the challenges faced by a publisher striving to resuscitate a declining newspaper, supported by a team of volunteer reporters.

Lisa Katz, President of Scripted Content at NBCUniversal, expressed anticipation for the new series, stating, “It’s been more than ten years since the final episode of ‘The Office’ aired on NBC, and the acclaimed comedy series continues to gain popularity and build new generations of fans on Peacock.”

The reboot, spearheaded by the creative minds of Greg Daniels and Michael Koman in collaboration with Universal Television, promises to introduce audiences to a fresh ensemble cast within the comedic realm of a daily newspaper.

Originally airing in 2005, “The Office” quickly became a cultural phenomenon, running for nine seasons until 2013 and amassing a total of 201 episodes. Its accolades include multiple Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and numerous Primetime Emmy Awards.

With its enduring popularity evidenced by being the most-streamed show in 2020, “The Office” continues to captivate audiences, amassing over 57 billion watch minutes according to Nielsen data.
