“The Office” isn’t coming back any time soon, no matter how many times you binge-watch the show on Netflix.
Sure, there seems to be an endless stream of articles where one or another of the show’s stars ― including John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer ― says they would come back for a reboot. And money isn’t an issue, as Netflix is spending billions of dollars on original content every year. “The Office” is also insanely popular on the platform, and another season would be a guaranteed hit.
But a reboot is definitely not happening. Probably. Maybe.
In the meantime, you’ll probably want similar shows to tide you over.
There are obvious choices like “Parks and Recreation.” That show was almost a literal spinoff from “The Office” ― one concept would have made a copy machine from Dunder Mifflin the crossover character. But given that “Parks and Rec” also uses a mockumentary format and is already very popular in its own right, you don’t need my endorsement.
Below is a list of comedies on Netflix that, like the early seasons of “The Office,” are still a bit underrated. These picks haven’t reached anywhere near the cultural heights of that show, but are just as funny and deserving of your time. Don’t be one of the many people who are apparently watching “The Office” over and over. Find something new to love already!
