Though the fine print has yet to be finalized, the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have reached a tentative agreement to end the 146-day strike in Hollywood. At the tail-end of what literally feels like a media drought, a new project – a reboot of Greg Daniels’ The Office – will reportedly come to light.
Writers for Puck, Matthew Belloni and Jonathan Handel, reported the news in a pieceon September 25detailing what the content industry could look like post-strike. Since studios and their talent weren’t allowed to make any project announcements or advancements in light of guild rules for the past 146 days (hence all these delayed movies and series), it’s likely that we’ll see a ton of new works come through — and the potential The Office reboot is likely to be one of them.
Will Greg Daniels return to write for "The Office" reboot?
Chatting about a The Office reboot with Collider in 2022, Daniels was admittedly apprehensive.
“[The Office] was such a wonderful and rare experience that obviously you don't want to just go back to it and kind of possibly disappoint people when right now, they couldn't be happier about it,” he said. “I can't tell whether fans would want more of it, and when I say more of it, I don't think it would be the same characters. I think it would just be sort of like an extension of the universe, you know what I mean, like the way [The] Mandalorian is like an extension of Star Wars. But I don't know if that would be something people would want or not, it's hard to tell.”
That being said, it seems that Daniels is attached to the alleged reboot.
Who will be in "The Office" reboot cast?
The original cast included icons like Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, Mindy Kaling, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Craig Robinson, B.J. Novak, Creed Bratton, Angela Kinsey, Oscar Nunez, Ellie Kemper, and Ed Helms. As of today, none of the cast members have addressed the potential reboot.

The TV show, which ran for nine whole seasons, undoubtedly has a cult following, but not everyone is thrilled about a possible remake.
“Please just stop with the reboots/remakes,” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I’m tired.”
“A reboot of a remake lord help us,” someone else said.
Based on fans’ reactions, it seems like they’re ready for newer, fresher shows and movies after the strike in Hollywood, rather than investing in all-too-familiar plot lines.
Plenty of people will be thrilled to see the Scranton paper company back on screen, though! Fingers crossed we get more iconic episodes that will make us feel God in any and every Chili's.
