The iconic mockumentary sitcom The Office left its mark on audiences with its witty humor and relatable characters. Though the Scranton paper company closed its doors in 2013 after nine seasons, the beloved Dunder Mifflin company remains etched in our memories. Recently, Bryan Cranston, known for his dramatic roles in shows like Breaking Bad, reignited the fire of hope for a reunion.
During a conversation with two former Office stars, Cranston mentioned possibly bringing the gang back together, hinting at something grander than a simple sitcom revival. While the details remain under wraps, the mere suggestion of a reunion sends shivers of excitement down the spines of dedicated fans.
The Office Season 9, Episode 4 Director Bryan Cranston Speaks About An Office Revival, But in a Different Way
Bryan Cranston, who directed the Season 9 episode Work Bus, recently said he wants to see an Office movie. He suggests that the Dunder Mifflin crew should now be going for the bigger screen. Cranston stated this idea while appearing on the Office Ladies podcast, hosted by two of the series stars, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey.
He said on the podcast,
“Let’s say that there’s not a reboot series, but what if there was a movie? Something to where we can see where these people are. These people in the entire cast that we’re curious about. We wondered at the end, where did they go? What did become of them?”
The Office, an American adaptation of the British TV series of the same name, ran for nine seasons and 201 episodes on NBC between 2005 and 2013 and rumors about a potential reboot were always there in the air. It would be interesting to see them all in a revival, though bringing them again on the same path would be a challenge.
Jenna Fischer Would Return, But There is One Condition
Fans of the hit sitcom The Office might be happy to hear that two of its stars are open to returning for a reboot or movie, with one key condition. Jenna Fischer, who portrayed Pam, and Angela Kinsey, known for her role as Angela in the beloved sitcom have both expressed their interest in reprising their roles, but only if the original series creator, Greg Daniels, is involved.
“Because I would trust it. You know?” Fischer said. “As long as Greg is writing it and he’s in charge of it, then I say yes.”
Bryan Cranston, who initiated the discussion about a reunion, is also keen on being part of the project, expressing his willingness to even play a minor role.
“I just want to be an extra in it. I would be some guy. I’d be a crossing guard or something like that. Just something,” he said.
Angela Kinsey jokingly suggested he could take on a role as one of the hired hands working at Dwight’s Schrute Farms.
The series also starred John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, B.J. Novak, Jenna Fischer, Leslie David Baker, Mindy Kaling, Kate Flannery, Phyllis Smith, Brian Baumgartner, Ed Helms, Craig Robinson, Melora Hardin, and Oscar Nunez.
All nine seasons of The Office are available on Peacock.
