Rainn Wilson says "The Office" probably wouldn’t be made today, telling Fox News Digital that media trends have shifted left and that cancel culture makes it difficult for edgy comedies to thrive.
The Office couldn't be made today because Ricky Gervais was poorer in 2004 and willing to license out the IP for pennies, he became too self important after the late 00's to allow a reboot on a major US channel for such little money. The Australians can't afford to pay much, but the US? He'd be making them pay through their teeth.
insane that gervais could license, sitcom taking place at work. i guess nbc was just paying for critical buzz.
It could also never be made today because no one but the most deluded of white lib FB moms would have any appetite for a show about how your exploitative labor aristocrat boss is actually one of you and you should love him. If that's not the most American show premise of all time tell me what is. The British are addicted to their own exploitation too, but they're also critically depressed cynics, so the UK version at least had the decency to have the Gervais character be a universally reviled loser that everyone is relieved to see get fired.
