Peacock‘s The Office follow-up series from creators and executive producers Gregg Daniels and Michael Koman has added 7 to its recurring cast including Duane Shepard Sr. (The Conners), Allan Havey (Loot), Nate Jackson (Young Rock), Mo Welch (Kwaczala), Nancy Lenehan (The Boys), Molly Ephraim (A League of Their Own), and Tracy Letts (Saturday Night Live).
They join the previously announced ensemble cast of Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina), Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus), Chelsea Frei (Poker Face), Melvin Gregg (American Vandal), Gbemisola Ikumelo (Black Ops), Alex Edelman (Just For Us), Ramona Young (Never Have I Ever), Tim Key (The Witchfinder) and Eric Rahill (Friendship).
In the new comedy series, the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is searching for a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.
Deadline exclusively revealed the secret project was in its early stages of development in January with Michael Koman joining Daniels as co-creator in March. A month later, they locked down their first two stars: Gleeson and Impacciatore.
In addition to her recurring role, Welch is a writer on the series. Exec producers also include Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein, Ben Silverman and Banijay Americas (form. Reveille), all auspices behind the original British series and/or the NBC version. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.
