We dont need a newOffice!
Cant Hollywood come up with any original ideas!
Quit ruining something that was already perfect!
NBC Universal
Its become a popular refrain every time a new rehash of a popular franchise is announced.
Weve seen it a lot recently with news aboutTwister 2andBeetlejuice 2.
The new version features a female lead as branch manager and a new modern, post-pandemic storyline.
Heres why:
This new version is set in Australia.
This new iteration ofThe Officeis taking place in Australia.
This is one of many international versions of the show.
BBC
Frankly, its surprising that Australia is only just now joining the ranks ofOfficeelite.
(Though Canada got their own version,La Job, it was in French.)
Its not just a same old plot.
BBC Studios
Yes, itd be annoying to relive that plot again, especially when many regard AmericanOfficesrendition as nearly perfect.
But thats not what AustralianOfficeis doing.
Instead, it stars Australian comedian Felicity Ward (Wakefield) as a female version of management.
Will it be a fun switch-up to the traditional plot?
Well just have to watch to find out.
They had the same complaints about the American Office, and look how that turned out.
You might have forgotten how much hatred the U.S. version of theOfficegot when it first came out.
You couldnt talk about the show without some dude-bro saying the British office did it better.
Imagine if NBC had listened to the critics and angry fans.
Perhaps the AustralianOfficewill have the same success?
All we can do is watch on Amazon Prime in 2024 and decide for ourselves.
