In September, comments from The Office co-creator Greg Daniels sparked speculation about a potential series reboot. In an interview with The Wrap, Daniels clarified, expressing a preference for a new direction in the same universe rather than a complete overhaul. He firmly stated that any revisit of The Office would not be a reboot."I don't like to think of anything as a reboot, you know what I mean? Because I feel like we ended that story beautifully. The characters had closure," Daniels said. "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."Rather than a reboot, Daniels expressed a desire to explore the universe further, drawing a parallel with Star Wars spinoff shows. "The notion of maybe something like the way The Mandalorian is a new show in the Star Wars universe, you know what I mean?" Daneils said. Something like the notion of this documentary crew doing a documentary about a different subject… That, I think, could be intriguing and creative. But I don't even know what you would call that… it doesn't feel like 'reboot' would be the appropriate term for that."Continue Reading at GameSpot...
