The Big Picture The potential series set in the same universe as The Office is one step closer to becoming a reality, with Deadline reporting that Michael Koman has boarded the project to co-develop the pilot alongside Greg Daniels. If the network decides to move forward with the series, Koman would be credited as the co-creator of the new Office project.
Before he was selected to work on the Office project that would follow different characters than the one starring Steve Carell, Michael Koman co-created Nathan for You alongside Nathan Fielder. The docu-reality told the story of Fielder, as he tried to help struggling businesses. The marketing schemes he comes up with are often elaborate and exaggerated, as the series eventually turns into an exploration of the concept of social anxiety.
The potential Office spin-off would follow an entirely new cast, but with the project set in the same universe as the original series. While the show has been in development for a very long time, it hasn't moved forward with any casting news, filming schedules or directors attached, which is why the return of the franchise to television might take longer than expected.
The Legacy of 'The Office' Close The final episode of The Office aired on May 16, 2013, bringing the characters' journeys to a close. But even if the successful comedy ended more than a decade ago, it remains extremely popular to this day. It was the most streamed show of 2020 by a wide margin.
