Right after the WGA strike ended, there was a Puck News post with a very brief mention about The Office<\/em> showrunner Greg Daniels being \u201cset to do a reboot.\u201d The Office<\/em> is one of those shows that people hold fondly, so naturally the Internet started chattering about what a reboot would even look like. Daniels rode that wave of free publicity before officially commenting, saying that while he\u2019s not opposed to a reboot, rumors of one were \u201cvery speculative.\u201d<\/p>\n In a recent interview with TheWrap to promote season 3 of his Prime Video series Upload<\/em> (I really enjoyed seasons 1 and 2), Daniels gave a little bit more information about what a potential new series about Dunder Mifflin would look like. Good news for everyone who was iffy or against an Office<\/em> reboot: It wouldn\u2019t be one. In fact, *if* we revisited that world, it would be within the same universe a la all of the Star Wars<\/em> television shows. The Book of Dwight Shrute<\/em>, anyone?<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t like to think of anything as a reboot, you know what I mean?\u201d he told TheWrap. \u201cBecause I feel like we ended that story beautifully. The characters had closure. I would never want to redo that same show with a different cast, because I think we got the luckiest cast, the best cast ever, in TV, to do that show. So the notion of a reboot is not of interest.\u201d<\/p>\n He explained that really, what he\u2019d like to do is continue in the universe, similar to the \u201cStar Wars\u201d spinoff shows. But at the same time, Daniels couldn\u2019t place what term he\u2019d actually use for the hypothetical project.<\/p>\n \u201cThe notion of maybe something like the way \u2018The Mandalorian\u2019 is a new show in the Star Wars universe, you know what I mean? Something like the notion of this documentary crew doing a documentary about a different subject,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThat, I think, could be intriguing and creative. But I don\u2019t even know what you would call that. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s like a sister show or something. I don\u2019t know what the term is. But it doesn\u2019t feel like \u2018reboot\u2019 would be the appropriate term for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [From The Wrap]<\/p>\n\n
