Dunder Mifflin employees are ready to get back to work. During the Jan. 31 episode of the Office Ladies podcast, "The Office" stars Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey spoke with Bryan Cranston Chat, Bryan Cranston asked the two if they would be interested in reprising their roles in a new series. movie, not a reboot or revival of the series.
"I'll do it," Kinsey said. "I would do it for my kids because I think they would find it fun."
For Fisher, it comes down to whether original series creator Greg Daniels will be involved. "I mean, if Greg did it. Because I would believe it. You know?" she said. “As long as Greg is writing it and he’s in charge of it, then I’ll say yes.”
Kinsey agreed, adding: "Yeah. 100 percent, Greg agrees with that hypothesis."
Cranston, who directed the Season 9 episode "The Work Bus," also hopes to return when "The Office" returns in movie form — albeit in a very different capacity. “I just wanted to be an extra in it,” he said. "I'd be someone. I'd be like a crossing guard or something like that."
Podcasters already have some ideas on how to include him. "Maybe you were like one of the workers Dwight hired at Schrute's farm," Kinsey joked.
possible office show
The Steve Carell-led series, which also starred John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, BJ Novak and Mindy Kaling, premiered in 2005 and ran for nine seasons. , completed in 2013. Since then, fans have hoped for a reunion, but an "Office" movie was unlikely. Daniels is thinking about it now as he might bring the show back in a different way.
In January, The Hollywood Reporter claimed that Daniels was putting together a writers' room to explore ideas for a "new style" of The Office . Whatever it is, it won't involve any original characters or actors, but could be set in the same universe.
Daniels has previously said he is not interested in revitalizing the office in any form. "I feel like we ended the story perfectly," he told TheWire in November. "The characters have ended. I would never want to reprise the same show with different actors because I think we have the luckiest actors in television, the best actors ever to make this show. So, the idea of a reboot Not interesting."
However, he has expressed interest in expanding the "Office" universe similar to "Star Wars" with "The Mandalorian ," which a recent THR report tracked.
"It's kind of like this idea of a documentary crew making a documentary about a different subject," he said. "I think it could be fun and creative. But I don't even know what you would call it. I don't know if it's a sister show or something. But it feels like 'reboot' isn't the right word."
