'The Office' Potentially Returning To TV With A New Series, But Not All The Details Are Good News

"The Office" might be returning to TVs across America.

The legendary NBC series about a paper company ended in May 2013, and is widely-viewed as one of the best comedy series ever made.

It was unbelievably funny and featured a truly elite ensemble cast. There's been whispers for years about a potential reboot, and a return to TV has reportedly taken a huge step forward.

Greg Daniels, who created the American series, is working with "Nathan for You" co-creator Michael Koman on the new series that remains in development, according to Deadline.

However, it's not going to be the reboot fans are expecting. Deadline previously reported that the original cast isn't expected to be the focus and new characters and a new setting will happen.

It is possible original cast members could make cameos, but that remains unclear.

Is a new series a good idea?

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a huge fan of "The Office." I 100% believe it's one of the best TV shows ever made. It's a classic that is just as funny today as it was more than a decade ago.

If the original cast was returning, then I'd probably be all for it. However, a new cast and a new setting in an expanded universe sounds like a situation with a lot of potential landmines.

There's absolutely no guarantee a new series that's smashing the reset button works or is a good idea. None at all, and I'd rather not touch a classic than risk ruining it.

Now, is there a chance it's great? Without a doubt, but it's certainly risky. I'd rather have nothing at all than have a mediocre series with new series. I'm sure most fans will agree. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
