A lot of not-so-great things went down in 2020 (let's not get into it), but one of the toughest blows was when The Office was taken off Netflix. After years of being there to provide comfort, laughs, and background noise while cleaning your apartment or scrolling through Instagram, the hit NBC series was removed from the streaming service at the end of 2020, later finding a new home on Peacock in January 2021. Even years later, some fans still aren't sure how or where to watch The Office since its big move, but fear not—we're here to break it down for ya.
Rights to the show are owned by NBCUniversal, so when the company decided to launch its own streaming service (enter: Peacock), The Office obvi joined its roster once Netflix's contract ran out. But Peacock isn't the *only* place where viewers can watch (and rewatch) The Office. Here are a few options that will keep all of Michael Scott's "that's what she said" jokes on your screen.
Stream it on Peacock
Let's start with Peacock. NBC's streaming service has three subscription options: Peacock (free, limited access), Peacock Premium ($4.99/month, access to everything), and Peacock Premium Plus ($9.99/month, access to everything and no ads).
The first five seasons of The Office are available with a free account, but to watch all nine seasons—as well as behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, bonus scenes, and extended episodes—you'll need Peacock Premium or Premium Plus. Sry, we don't make the rules!!
Purchase it online
If you don’t want an ongoing subscription to Peacock, then another option is to buy individual episodes, seasons, or even the entire series online. This can be done through digital retailers like Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, Vudu, and iTunes. You can get individual episodes in standard definition for $1.99 or high definition for $2.99, and individual seasons can be purchased for $17.99 in SD or $19.99 in HD. The one exception is the shorter first season of the series, which you can get for $9.99 in SD or $12.99 in HD.
And if you wanna get access to all nine season at once, then you'll be happy to hear that the bundled series can be purchased on both Vudu and iTunes for for $99.99.
Watch TV
If you're someone who still has good ol' fashioned cable—or something similar like Hulu + Live TV or YouTube TV—then you should know that reruns of The Office are on all the time. (Hulu + Live TV is $69.99/month, while YouTube TV pricing is $64.99/month.) Comedy Central is constantly replaying the show, so you can set your DVR to record the series and get a consistent rotation of episodes.
Buy DVDs
Okay, this one is a little old-school, but if you have a device that can play DVDs—a laptop, an Xbox, or even an actual DVD player (gasp!)—then purchasing the entire series of The Office is one way to know you'll never go without it.
Think this is an even lamer suggestion than watching it on cable? Fine. Stick with Peacock or buying the seasons somewhere. But no matter what you choose, you should have plenty of options to keep cringing at "Scott's Tots" for years to come.
