‘The Office‘ is surely one of the most popular shows in the world and it is up for another remake now. The original British show was created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant in 2005 and it had a total of 9 seasons up to 2013. The Office had Ricky Gervais himself as the lead, an eccentric and weird manager in a struggling paper company.
The official American remake of the show had comic actor Steve Carrell in the lead role and was highly successful as well. There are a total of 12 remakes of ‘The Office’ and this is the first time that it is having a female lead. The story will remain the same with some minor changes and more nuances in it.
The Dunder Mifflin paper company will be the ‘Flinley Craddick’ here and the manager will be a female for a change. Comedian Felicity Ward will be playing the role of the manager Hannah Howard. And as the success of the show depends much on the huge supporting cast, the rest of the actors too have to be pretty good. The list includes Australian actors like Edith Poor, Jonny Brugh, Lucy Schmit, Steen Raskopoulos, Pallavi Sharda, Shari Sebbens, Firass Dirani, Josh Thomson, Susan Ling Young, and Raj Labade.
The shooting will start this June and it will be available to watch in 2024. There will be eight episodes in the show and if it proves to be successful more seasons will be ordered. The show will not be available in Prime Video US at the same time.
