Sabrina Impacciatore and Domhnall Gleeson Cast in 'The Office' Spinoff Series

Sabrina Impacciatore, known for her role in 'The White Lotus,' and Domhnall Gleeson, who has appeared in 'Star Wars' and 'Ex Machina,' have been cast in an upcoming office spinoff series of the hit NBC sitcom 'The Office.' The new ensemble comedy, set in the same universe as the original show, is being developed by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman.

While details about the characters Impacciatore and Gleeson will play remain under wraps, the project is rumored to start production as soon as this fall. Daniels, who co-created the U.S. version of 'The Office,' has emphasized that this is a spinoff, not a reboot, and that he has no interest in redoing the original show with a different cast.

The spinoff series is seen as a way to potentially bring back some familiar faces from the original show, though a full reunion of the entire cast is unlikely. Daniels previously stated that a reboot of 'The Office' was not of interest, but he is open to the idea of a office, new show set in the same universe, similar to 'The Mandalorian' in the Star Wars universe.

Why this matters: The announcement of a spinoff series set in the world of 'The Office' has generated significant buzz among fans of the beloved sitcom. As one of the most popular and critically acclaimed comedy series of the past two decades, 'The Office' has left a lasting impact on television and pop culture.

The casting of Impacciatore and Gleeson, both accomplished actors in their own right, adds to the anticipation surrounding the project. Impacciatore's recent role in the acclaimed HBO series 'The White Lotus' and Gleeson's diverse filmography, including his appearance in 'The Patient' alongside 'The Office' star Steve Carell, have further piqued interest in the spinoff.

While the exact premise of the new series remains unknown, Daniels has suggested that it may feature a documentary crew exploring a different subject within 'The office, series' universe.
