The Office Inspires Little Hope for Success as Peacock Resumes New Show Without Steve Carell and John Krasinski

Even if Office ended its legendary run on NBC 11 years ago, the series remains one of television’s most renowned and hilarious series. The sitcom show was based in the British show of the same name, and it was strong enough to become a fan-favorite series when it first aired in 2005. 9 seasons of the series, she created a huge fan following by presenting hilarious situations and how it can be watched repeatedly without the viewer ever getting bored.

Indeed, Office occupies a special place in the sitcom genre. However, fans of the series would be stunned to learn that a new series inspired by the 2005 series has been picked up by Peacock. And it will not feature original series stars Steve Carell and John Krasinski.

Office-Inspired The show is going ahead without its main cast

NBC Office was an excellent sitcom that poked fun at the stereotypical nature of office culture and societal norms. Thanks to its mockumentary format, the series often satirized corporate bureaucracy and the monotonous rituals of the workplace. But what made the TV series create a special place in the hearts of its viewers is the warmth that comes with it.

The huge success of the series is a result of its iconic cast and two iconic faces of the series, Steve Carell and John Krasinski. Michael Scott’s cringeworthy actions have made fans laugh uncontrollably, and Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly’s romance is something viewers can never get enough of.

Now, Variety reports that a new iteration of Office takes place by Peacock. The series will neither be a reboot nor a spin-off of the 2005 series, but it will be a new mockumentary show entirely featuring an entirely new cast.

The outlet shared the official logline which read:

“The documentary team that immortalized the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin is looking for a new subject when they discover a historic Midwest newspaper on the verge of disappearing and the publisher attempts to revive it with volunteer journalists.”

The news is not well received by fans of the original series as the new series will not feature the original cast of the series who played a major role in its success.

Fans are furious with Peacock Office-Inspired To show

The news was shared by Pop Base (@PopBase) on X, where they announced that the new show would revolve around a daily life with a brand new cast. This information did not sit well with fans of the NBC show as a show inspired by the original series would not feature old faces such as Brian Baumgartner, Jenna Fischer, Oscar Nunez, Rainn Wilson and many others.

As a result, fans are furious and are criticizing the series on social media for their not-so-original concept of the series.

Although it is too early to comment on how the series is going, creating a show following the premise of the original series may lead to failure, as fans might not be convinced by the plot and characters.

In the meantime, Office can be streamed on Peacock.
