New The Office reportedly casts Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore

What is going on with this new The Office thing? The possible reboot/possible revival/possible spin-off has been all smoke and mirrors and Greg Daniels schemes. But it’s real enough to have apparently bagged two pretty big names as the first actors cast. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Domhnall Gleeson (of the Star Wars sequel trilogy) and Sabrina Impacciatore (of the second season of The White Lotus) have signed on to join this amorphous mystery version of the beloved sitcom.

As we’ve been following, Daniels (who created the American version of the workplace comedy) has been developing some new version of the show that’s set in the same universe as the one that’s home to Michael Scott (Steve Carrell), Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), and Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer). Last month, it was reported that Daniels had brought on Nathan For You co-creator Michael Koman to be his partner on this new project, which as of yet has no studio attached. Now, THR says the duo “have been casting a wide net to find talent availabilities for the latter half of this year.”

Basically, we don’t know anything about what the show will be like or what the actors will be doing yet. But you couldn’t really ask for better stars than Gleeson and Impacciatore. Impacciatore was a standout in the darkly comedic White Lotus. And Gleeson has proven his range, from sniveling and unpleasant in Star Wars to warm, funny, and charming in About Time. Beyond their many talents, the casting also suggests an interestingly international bent to this new Office (Impacciatore is Italian and Gleeson is Irish). That’s a departure from the sort of homogenous middle America of Scranton, Pennsylvania in Daniels’ original. We’ll have to wait and see what Daniels and co. have in store.
