Greg Daniels’ The Office spinoff/reboot/revival has found its first two actors.
Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars) and Sabrina Impacciatore (season two of The While Lotus) have signed on for whatever Daniels has up his sleeve.
For now, we know that Daniels, who created the U.S. version of The Office as well as other beloved sitcoms like Parks and Rec and King of the Hill, has been developing some version of a show that’s set in the same universe as the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Last month, it was reported that Nathan For You co-creator Michael Koman was joining the team to help bring the show to life. Now, The Hollywood Reporter shared the duo “have been casting a wide net to find talent availabilities for the latter half of this year.”
Which brings us to Gleeson and Impacciatore. Gleeson has a wide range of credits showing he can take on whatever hilariously embarrassing scenarios Daniels throws at him. And Impacciatore has certainly proven she can hold her own, earning an Emmy nomination for her role as Valentine in HBO’s White Lotus. But the casting is curious, considering the new Office is meant to be set in middle America (Gleeson is Irish and Impacciatore is Italian).
We’ll have to wait and see what Daniels does next.
