Daniels, who co-created the American version of The officehas insisted that the upcoming series is a spin-off and not a reboot, although it will exist in the same universe as the original series.
“I don't like to think of anything as a reboot,” Daniels previously explained. “Because I feel like we finished that story beautifully. The characters had closure. I would never want to remake the same show with a different cast, because I think we have the luckiest cast, the best cast on television, to do that show. So the idea of restarting is not of interest.”
Impacciatore is perhaps best known for playing Valentina in HBO's second season. The white lotus. Gleeson, son of actor Brendan Gleeson, notably played General Armitage Hux in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, and also appeared in films such as ex machina and the revenant.
