Office Spinoff of the Day: Dwight Schrute may be getting his own show.
NBC is reportedly developing a spinoff series for the popular Office character. The project is in its infancy, but the network is setting its sights on a midseason 2013 launch date.
The show will be a family sitcom, based on a premise proposed by Schrute actor Rainn Wilson and Office showrunner Paul Lieberstein (who plays Toby). According to an early synopsis, the spinoff will be set at Dwight’s beet farm and B&B.
“Paul and Rainn have been joking for years about Dwight’s life on the farm, his family and how ill-suited he is to run a B&B,” a source told Deadline. “A while ago, it started to feel like a show to them. NBC agreed, it’s been further developed to include multiple generations, many cousins and neighbors. At its base it will be about a family farm struggling to survive and a family trying to stay together.”
Office executive producers Ben Silverman and Howard Klein are also attached. Greg Daniels will reportedly sit this one out.
