Who Will Replace Micheal Scott In The Office Remake? All We Know So Far

As a lifestyle expert with a deep-rooted affection for comedic sitcoms and an undying love for The Office, I must say that the upcoming remakes are truly a cause for celebration! Having spent countless hours immersed in the quirky world of Dunder Mifflin, I’m eager to see how these new iterations will breathe fresh life into such a cherished classic.


The supreme success synonymous with The Office has only inspired several remakes of the mockumentary drama series spanning decades. Currently, two The Office remakes are at work– a loose spinoff, titled The Paper, by creators of the U.S. version, Greg Daniels and Michael Koman for Peacock, and an Australian remake. 

As of now, the Australian adaptation of The Office is gearing up for its premiere on Amazon Prime Video, slated for October 18, 2024. This initial release will feature all eight episodes, and a fresh face has been announced as the main character.

In the Australian adaptation of “The Office,” instead of Steve Carell as Michael Scott, the head of Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch, they’ve cast comedian Felicity Ward as Hannah Howard, their new female lead. She will play a character similar to Michael in terms of her unconventional and peculiar behavior, consistently pushing the boundaries with her subordinates and staff members.

As a long-time fan of the iconic 2005 NBC comedy “Ward,” I was thrilled to learn that Hannah Howard will be reprising her role in the upcoming series. This week, ScreenRant published a first-look teaser showing Hannah in an office setting, and it’s clear that the show is staying true to its roots while also bringing something fresh to the table. With my extensive background in comedy and a soft spot for nostalgic TV shows, I can’t wait to see how the creators breathe new life into this beloved series. It’s going to be a joyful trip down memory lane with a modern twist!

In contrast to the original The Office series, the Australian remake will offer a fresh perspective by focusing on employees working from home at Flinley Craddick, a packaging company, which mirrors the current work-from-home reality for many companies today. It’s been hinted that Hannah Howard will have to deal with the branch closing down, leaving her team with the only alternative of working remotely.

Yet, she promises to conquer difficulties by working together, but finds it difficult to adhere to these commitments while striving to meet goals established by higher-ups.

As a devoted follower, I find myself immersed in the role of Hannah Howard, the managing director at packaging company Flinley Craddick. When I receive word from headquarters about the impending closure of my branch and the mandate for us all to work remotely, I quickly enter survival mode, making commitments that might be beyond reach just to maintain our tight-knit “work family.” My team at Flinley Craddick, in their unwavering support, humor me through my eccentric schemes as we strive towards the challenging goals set for us.

Having spent years working in various office environments myself, I find it fascinating to see a diverse cast assembled for the Australian remake of “The Office.” With a background that includes theatre, improv, and film, Edith Poor is sure to bring a unique energy to her role. Steen Raskopoulos’ comedic timing, honed over years as a stand-up comedian and improviser, will undoubtedly add some much-needed humor to the series. Shari Sebbens, with her extensive experience in television and film, is a seasoned actor who can bring depth and nuance to her character.

Justin Rosniiak, Carlo Richie, Rick Donald, Susie Youssef, and Chris Bunton are set for special performances.

In a fresh take, Julie De Fina and Jackie van Beek are developing a reboot of “The Office,” offering a new perspective as it explores the office dynamics from a work-from-home angle, promising to deliver even more than the original storyline.

Whereas the Peacock version of The Office will delve into the current booming sphere of journalism, in contrast to the title, The Paper. The original documentary crew is already attached for the remake by Daniels and Koman. 

In a struggling historic Midwestern newspaper, the Peacock remake unfolds within office confines as the publisher seeks resuscitation with a team of novice and volunteer journalists. The production is set to commence in July 2024. Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore have been selected for primary roles, with an anticipated extended cast as well.
