Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston wants to see a movie sequel to The Office instead of the increasingly discussed series reboot, and even some cast members would agree.
Talking about the office ladies Podcast, a show where Pam Beesly actress Jenna Fischer and Angela Martin actress Angela Kinsey rewatch and discuss episodes of the beloved sitcom. Cranston proposed the idea of a movie that would reach the stars a decade after the show ended.
Although it seems a little unusual coming from Cranston, he actually directed the season 9 episode Work Bus. “Let’s say there isn’t a rebooted series, but what if there was a movie?” -Cranston asked. “Something where we can see where these people are, these people in the entire cast that we’re curious about. In the end we’re wondering: Where did they go? What happened to them?”
Fisher said he would be on board if co-creator Greg Daniels was also on board. “I would trust it,” Fischer said. “As long as Greg writes it and is in charge, then I say yes.” Kinsey was up for it, too: “I would do it for my kids because I think they’d think it’s fun.”
Cranston’s proposal would likely catch the attention of other The Office stars as well, as Darryl Philbin actor Craig Robinson has already said he wants to reprise the role for a reboot.
Daniels has also expressed more interest in a spinoff than a reboot, saying in November 2023 that “the notion of a reboot is not of interest” because he would prefer to do a show like The Mandalorian for Star Wars.
Of course, there’s irony in this, as The Office US is a reboot and adaptation itself, based on the British show of the same name. The basic characters and stories of the first seasons were largely based on the original show – David Brent became Michael Scott, Tim Canterbury became Jim Halpert, Gareth Keenan became Dwight Schrute, etc. – but the series American was much more successful and eventually spanned 201 years. episodes compared to the original’s 14.
The Office will also get a new female-led version in Australia, with Prime Video creating the show starring comedian Felicity Ward, who will play packaging company manager Flinley Craddick.
