"I just don't think that's a good idea, it might be impossible to do that show today and have people accept it the way it was accepted ten years ago," he previously toldEsquire. In the series, inspired by a British show of the same name, the 57-year-old played Michael Scott, an extremely inappropriate boss—a role that might not exactly work today in the #MeToo movement. "A lot of what is depicted on that show is completely wrong-minded. That's the point, you know? But I just don't know how that would fly now. There's a very high awareness of offensive things today—which is good, for sure. But at the same time, when you take a character like that too literally, it doesn't really work."
Some of the old gang got together today… it was so great to see everyone! I turned to Ed and said, "I feel like we are at a family reunion." He smiled and said, "We are." ❤️ Thanks Greg for hosting! For those who couldn't make it… you were missed! pic.twitter.com/DwF42lNGHk

But it seems as though Carell is the only one who feels that way. During a 2018 SNL skit, Office stars Fischer,Ed HelmsandEllie Kemperall begged the actor to agree to a reboot, telling him that it would be very lucrative.
"People would really love to see an Office reboot," Kemper said. "Especially me, because I need that money. Let's get that money, Steve."
"I just don't think you understand just how much money we're talking about," Helms joked.
Still, Carell wouldn't budge. "I just don't think it would be as good this time around," he admitted.
What will a reboot of The Office be about?
We're guessing it would take place in an office. But other than the obvious, nothing else is known about what the storyline would be. It seems even Hammer is unsure. "It is my hope that we can figure what that great reboot would be," she told Deadline. So, we can at least rest assured that they are going to create something "great."
How can I watchThe Office online now?
While we wait for more details to be released about this potential reboot, fans can still check out the original series on Netflix. There's also a new podcast launching in October called "Office Ladies," which will feature Fischer and herOffice costarAngela Kinsey. They will be giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at their lives.
