Greg Daniels is currently working on a new spin-off of The Office, and if it gets the greenlight, Nathan For You co-creator Michael Korman will likely serve as the co-creator for the series.
There has been speculation for months on what Daniels’ new series will actually be, ranging from a complete reboot of The Office to a new premise simply set in The Office Extended Universe — which seems most likely. Daniels has shared that he’s leaning toward the latter, but the show is still in the early stages of development so who knows. But Deadline has finally reported some more concrete information about Daniels’ plan, including the fact that he’s bringing in Korman.
Korman, who happens to be married to The Office‘s Ellie Kemper, wrote for Saturday Night Live, The Colbert Report and Late Night With Conan O’Brian before becoming the head writer for Important Things With Demetri Martin. There, he connected with Nathan Fielder and the two concocted the bizarre and hilarious Nathan For You. The prank show/social experiment gained prominence for its’ one-of-a-kind humor and seemingly never-ending cringe.
Even based off his most recent work as writer/co-executive producer on the criminally underrated comedy Girls5Eva, we’re pretty excited to see what Korman will bring Daniels’ Office universe.
