Production Team:
Greg Daniels, who developed the American version of “The Office,” is co-creating this new project alongside Michael Koman. They are joined by executive producers including Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, creators of the original British version13. The writers’ room was opened in January 2024 to kickstart production on this highly anticipated follow-up to the beloved sitcom, which originally aired from 2005 to 2013.
