The officehas been deemed one of the greatest sitcoms ever made and still garners a massive fanbase after a decade since its closure. And fans, who have been wanting a reunion of the popular characters might finally get it, as the NBCUniversal TV and Streaming Chairman Susan Rovner revealed that she is open to a modern adaptation but the decision of it depends onThe Officeproducer Greg Daniels.
The decision for a reboot may turn out right for the executives, considering the recent success of NBCUniversal’sNight Courtrevival. But the dependence for the sitcom’s reboot on Greg Daniels might be a problem, considering the busy schedule of the producer, who has a lot of projects under his belt, includingExploding Kittens, Best Buds, andChelm: The Smartest Place on Earth.
Alongside the busy schedule of the producer, getting the original cast together might be a problem on its own due to their tight schedules. The reboot should also include Steve Carell at its forefront if it gets greenlit, as his exclusion from the final two seasons nearly killed the sitcom.

Steve Carell’s departure from the final two seasons almost killed the sitcom
AlthoughThe Officeas a whole is still dominating the streaming platforms, the majority of the fans agree that the final two seasons of the show didn’t quite reach the mark as its predecessors. Even though the first seven seasons of the show with Steve Carell are considered among some of the funniest shows ever made, many believe that the show lost its essence after the exit of Steve Carell.
Fans believe that the farewell episode of Michael Scott should have been the finale for the show, as it soon became clear that the later seasons after Carell’s departure were for financial reasons. Although the supporting cast was great in the previous seasons, because of their dynamic with Michael Scott, without him, the storylines of certain characters felt forced.
