Hype surrounding a 2025 Peacock spin-off of The Office is reaching new heights as many wonder whether the hit sitcom is returning.
Steve Carrell and John Krasinski’s run with the original The Office series turned it into one of the most popular shows of the 21st century. Even after ending in 2013, with the main cast becoming massive stars, fans have regularly asked if the mockumentary series centered around Dunder Mifflin Paper could come back.
2024 kicked off the spin-off trend for this show with an Australian offshoot of The Office titled The Office: Australia, which hit Prime Video on October 18. Now, a more direct continuation of the story could be in line for the near future as well.
