Odds now offered on who could appear on The Office US revival series
The revival of The Office US is now reportedly in development with original showrunner Greg Daniels looking to create a new series in the same universe as the original series.
Peacock has picked up the show which is set to see the documentary crew that filmed Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch head to a new location to film a struggling newspaper and volunteer reporters.
Betting sites have now priced up the potential of former characters from The Office US appearing on the show with Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski all leading the betting market at 4/1.
The current market gives the three joint favourites an implied probability of 20% that they will appear in the new Office reboot with all three previously playing big characters in the original series.
Fischer’s Pam and Krasinski’s Jim gained huge popularity in playing the will-they-won't-they couple in the series with Rainn Wilson starring as Dwight.
| To appear in The Office US Revival | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Jenna Fischer | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Rainn Wilson | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| John Krasinski | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Steve Carell | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Brian Baumgartner | 6/1 | 14.3% |
What the expert says...
Steve Carell sits near the top of the market to appear in the reboot of The Office US
Steve Carell starred as the key character in the show, Michael Scott, and made a brief return to the show for the finale in the original series.
Carell sits at 6/1 to make an appearance in the new revival of The Office US but he has openly said that he would not be interested in making an appearance on the show.
“I will be watching but I will not be showing up,” Carell told The Hollywood Reporter back in May after the show was announced.
It’s just a new thing and there’s really no reason for my character [Michael Scott] to show up in something like that.”

Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore first confirmed to star in the show
Domhnall Gleeson and White Lotus star Sabrina Impacciatore are the first two people announced to star in the show, leading the ensemble cast for the still unnamed series.
No other actors or actresses have been announced for the show as of yet but it would be no surprise that we see former stars head back into the Office universe.
The show will be presented as ‘not a spin-off’ but the fact that it takes place in the same universe as the original will always lead to expectation that we will see some of the well-loved characters appear on the show.
