Rainn Wilson Claims ‘The Office’ Was too ‘Inappropriate’ to Be Made Today, Seemingly Forgetting About Peacock Sequel ‘The Paper’

Article excerpt

Rainn Wilson told Fox News Digital that NBC's "The Office" couldn't be made today because modern culture wouldn't tolerate the show's irreverent humor. "I do feel like you couldn't make 'The Office' today," he said. "I think that would be too hard to be as politically incorrect as the show was." The comment drew attention partly because Wilson apparently overlooked that Peacock is developing "The Paper," a sequel series he's involved with, suggesting the network and creators believe there's room for an Office-adjacent workplace comedy in 2026.
