The Office creator Greg Daniels has given a blunt response to the chances of the OG cast appearing in spinoff show The Paper.
Per EW, Daniels discussed the possibility of having other characters besides Oscar back for the spinoff, and bluntly revealed no plans to do so. He discussed the importance of letting the show live or die on its own, while stating that Oscar’s return came about because he felt it was the most obvious choice. Check out Daniels’ comments below:
But will any former Dunder Mifflin employees beyond Oscar pop up in the newsroom or Toledo as a whole?
“We’re letting the show live on its own. Or die on its own. But you never know.”
He continued how Oscar returned to was the most obvious choice to return for the spinoff.
“As a character, he hadn’t really had an enormous change. He’s pretty much the same person. A lot of the other characters had massive change: Michael got married and moved to Colorado, Dwight and Angela turned into different people. One of the things that appealed to us was that Oscar had some untold stories left in him… It’s wonderful to have him there, and he provides a linkage… your expectation is not that he’s going to drive every story.”
