Steve Carell Reveals Why He 'Will Not Be Showing Up' In New 'The Office' Series
HuffPost
Fans have mixed feelings over the upcoming series, which is set in the same universe as "The Office."
Much to fans’ disappointment, Steve Carell has confirmed that he will not be returning for the new “Office” series.
“I will be watching, but I will not be showing up,” Carell said of the upcoming spinoff while speaking with The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of his new movie, “IF,” on Monday.
“It’s just a new thing, and there’s really no reason for my character to show up in something like that.”
“But I’m excited about it, it sounds like a great conceit,” Carell continued. “I love the idea — I guess it’s set in a failing newspaper company, and 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.”
Carell starred as fan favorite Michael Scott in the American version of “The Office.” The beloved mockumentary sitcom ran for nine seasons, beginning in March 2005 and ending in May 2013.
