“I don’t know contractually, but I know spiritually, it’s a pure Greg Daniels thing (decision). Everyone knows he is the person who controls the rights to The Office, spiritually, creatively the American Office,” he said, referring to the fact that The Office is based on the UK series of the same name.

“Definitely you wouldn’t get everyone back together, that ship has sailed,” he added of a potential revival cast.

“I think it’s more if there’s anything to mine creatively that’s fresh. I think it needs to be approached as an artistic decision, not as a financial decision. I worry that there’s so much financial pressure, understandably, to mine this precious metal in the ground called The Office reboot, spinoff or whatever,” he continued.

“The Office originally was done for the opposite of money. It looked to all of us in that writers room as the most unlucrative stupid decision, to make a dreary, fake documentary set in an office with no shiny stars, no music, no colors practically, definitely no studio audience, that was suppose to be the mundanity of a paper company; a remake of a British show that everyone hated us for attempting,” he went on to say.
