A long-awaited return to America’s favorite paper company could be on the horizon.
In an exclusive clip from Wednesday’s episode of SiriusXM’sOffice Ladiespodcast,Bryan Cranstonposes an age-old question to hostsJenna FischerandAngela Kinsey: Is the cast ofThe Officebe interested in a reunion?
“So let’s say that there’s not a reboot series, but let’s say that there’s a movie — something where we can see where these people are – these people in the entire cast that we’re curious about,” suggests Cranston, 67.
After a comparison to theDownton Abbeymovie, Kinsey, 52, is quick to say she’d be all in for a revival film. “I would do it. I would do it for my kids, ‘cause I think they would think that’s fun.”
Kinsey affirms that “Greg is signed on in this hypothetical,” which prompts another “yes” from her former castmate.
“OK, as long as Greg is writing it and he’s in charge of it, then I say yes,” Fischer agrees.

Satisfied with his work, Cranston then jokes, “Enough said. Let’s get Greg on the phone,” before admitting that he’s keen to be involved in the hypothetical project, too.
“I just wanna be an extra in it,” theBreaking Badstar, whodirected a 2012 episodeof theSteve Carell-led sitcom. And Kinsey agrees: “You have to be in it.”
Of course, that begs the question of who Cranston could play in the movie. “I’d be like a crossing guard or something like that,” quips the Emmy winner.
He doesn’t miss a beat: “Now why would I be the hired hand and not the foreman?"

In 2021, afterThe Officemoved from Netflix to Peacock, Daniels toldE! Newsthata reboot is “probably more likely"than not, though he had “no plans” at that time.
“People are more open to it now, it seems,” he said. “The issue is,what is left to be said about the characters?”
One of the ideas he toyed with included going back to “find some lost episodes and film them as if they were back in 2010 or something,” as well as possibly following in the footsteps ofMax’sFriendsreunion.
At the time, NBCU content chief Susan Rover told Deadline that a reboot could happen “whenever Greg Daniels wants to do one.”

Kinsey and Fischer’s former castmateJohn Krasinski, 44, has also been open abouthis interest in revisiting his paper salesman character Jim Halpert.
“In many ways, they will always be the most important people in that most important experience in my career. So yeah, if they did a reunion, I would absolutely love to do it,” he toldEsquirein 2020.
Krasinksi continued, “The Officewas absolutely everything to me. I mean it is my beginning and my end.”
