Season 8
From Deedle-Dee Productions, Reveille and Universal Television comes the multi-award-winning comedy series The Office, the hilarious documentary-style look into the humorous and sometimes poignant foolishness that plagues the world of 9-to-5 in the half-hour comedy based on the award-winning BBC hit.
A fly-on-the-wall docu-reality parody about modern American office life, The Office delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin, a paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
The recent departure of regional manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell), after 19 years of service, and the unexpected medical leave of his successor Deangelo Vickers have left many vying for the coveted manager position, including a few internal candidates.
One startling move that did transpire during the interview process was the hiring of the weirdly charming and manipulative Robert California (James Spader) by Dunder Mifflin Sabre CEO Jo Bennett.
Robert accepted the regional manager job and quickly realised he was meant for something bigger, convincing Jo to step down and appoint him as the new CEO.
The loyal and often times unmotivated staff includes sales rep Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) who shares his working space with Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), the arrogant assistant to the regional manager whose responsibilities have expanded as the new owner of the office building.
Pam Beesly Halpert (Jenna Fischer) is the former office receptionist now office administrator. Pam's office romance with Jim evolved into marriage followed by the birth of their daughter Cece and a second child on the way.
Ryan Howard (B.J. Novak) is the young, smart, former temp, whose fall from grace as a Dunder Mifflin executive quickly landed him back at the bottom of the food chain in Scranton.
Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) is the preppy salesman and die-hard Cornell alum whose endless and unique musical talents keep the office entertained.
A surprising relationship has also formed between Andy and the ambitious distribution coordinator Darryl Philbin (Craig Robinson), who moved his office from the warehouse to the main floor alongside Michael and his staff.
Also starring are Leslie David Baker, Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery, Mindy Kaling, Angela Kinsey, Paul Lieberstein, Oscar Nuñez, Phyllis Smith, Creed Bratton, Ellie Kemper and Zach Woods.
The Office is executive-produced by Ben Silverman, Greg Daniels, who developed the series for American audiences, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein, Paul Lieberstein and B.J. Novak.
