Fans of “The Office” have been wondering if any of the characters will make an appearance on the upcoming spin-off series. Well, sadly, you can count Michael Scott out.
Steve Carell says since the show is a new thing, he doesn’t see a reason for Michael to show up. He is excited to support and watch it, though.
“It sounds like a great conceit. I love the idea . . . I worked with Domhnall Gleeson, who is one of the leads. I did [the 2022 series] ‘The Patient’ with him and he’s an excellent actor and a super nice guy so I think it’ll be great.”
The spin-off will be a mockumentary about a midwestern newspaper. It doesn’t have a title yet.
