The move proves challenging for Howard who finds it hard to keep her “work family” together.

Her staff join the lead in her outlandish plots as they work to achieve targets that have been set for them by the head office.

Developed by Julie De Fina and Jackie van Beek for Australia, ‘The Office’ is co-directed by Christiaan Van Vuuren and Jesse Griffin while Van Beek also serves as set-up director for the show.

In May this year, Peacock revealed the plot details of Greg Daniels and Michael Koman’s ‘The Office’ series.

Reports said that the mockumentary series will be made with a new cast and is not related to the acclaimed original comedy series.

“The documentary crew that immortalised Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters,” read the official logline of the series.
