New THE OFFICE Series Casts Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore — GeekTyrant

Greg Daniels and Michael Koman are co-creating a new The Office series for Universal Television and the project is moving forward with casting.

It’s being reported that Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars, The Patient) and Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus) are the first two actors to join the project. They would occupy two roles in what would be an ensemble cast, like the original versions of the show.

Showrunner Greg Daniels has hinted over the years that while the series was wrapped up neatly, if an idea were to come about that made sense for a sequel series, reboot, or otherwise, he may be open to it. Well, it looks like the project is full steam ahead right now!

The series that’s being developed will be set in the same universe as The Office, but it will be a different office setting filled with all new characters.

I just hope that the comedy is as funny as the first two Office series! I’m just looking to laugh, the bar was set so high with the first two shows. I hope that this new series will be able to reach that level of comedy again.

Daniels opened a writers’ room in January 2024 to begin working on the new iteration of the hit NBC mockumentary sitcom, which ran from 2005 to 2013 and was adapted from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s British series of the same name.

The American Office took place in Scranton, Penn., and followed the staff of a paper company. It starred Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Ed Helms, Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak, among others.
