“Not every show or movie needs a reboot”: Steve Carrell’s ‘The Office’ Reboot is Happening and Fans Are Infuriated
In an unexpected turn of events, reports have been around that the fan-favorite sitcom The Office is set to have a reboot after the ongoing Hollywood strike comes to an end. While the makers of the sitcom are excited to bring back the show, fans have had a rather unexpected reaction to this news. Ever since the conclusion of the show back in 2013, there has often been discussion around its reboot, but the recent speculations of its reboot have sparked a rather unpleasant debate.
The Office Reboot is Reportedly in Work
Reports have been around that the fans-favorite sitcom The Office is all set to reboot. Talking about this in Puck News, writers Matthew Belloni and Johnathan Handel speculated about the future of the entertainment industry post the ongoing actors and writers’ strike.
Among many other projects, the writers claimed that Greg Daniels, The Office US creator was looking for a revamp of the series. While the show ran for nine seasons from 2005 to 2013, ever since its conclusion, discussion about its reboot has been at its peak.
Although after years of discussion, reports have been around that now the makers of the series will be bringing the story back alive. Hinting towards this Greg Daniels said to Collider back in 2022, “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.”
While the speculations around the show’s reboots are spreading around, fans have not generally liked the idea.
