Earlier this year, when NBC announced plans to revive Will & Grace after 11 years, Steve Carell trolled fans by tweeting The Office would also be returning. A few minutes later, however, Carell confessed he had made a “typo” and meant to say “Will & Grace.”

Now, though, after seeing the success of Will & Grace, NBC is actually working on a revival of The Office, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Carell will not be a part of the forthcoming season, but the plan is for a mix of old and new cast members to work out of the same Dunder Mifflin’s office in Scranton, Pennsylvania, TV Line reports. The search is currently underway for a new leading star, with an eye for a 2018/2019 premiere.

The Office creator Greg Daniels is attached to the forthcoming project, according to THR.
