The Office is making a comeback - sort of

A documentary about cult comedy The Office is being made to celebrate the show's 15th anniversary.

Fans of The Office rejoice - a documentary about the mockumentary is coming.

That's according to a report by Zimbio, who reported on a since-deleted Facebook post by Robert Shafer, the actor who played Bob Vance.

Shafer said he'd been invited to take part in a documentary called That's What She Said (And They Said Too!), which would feature "anecdotes from cast, crew, creators, fandom culture, and how the show addressed the larger social issues of the times".

Filming would reportedly begin in April, with its release scheduled in March next year - the show's 15th anniversary.

The American version of The Office was based on the Ricky Gervais' British hit and starred Steve Carell as Michael Scott, the bumbling office manager of a sales supplies company.

It was popular throughout its nine-season run, which ended in 2013, but many of the show's stars have gone on to bigger things, like John Krasinski, who played Jim, and last year released the horror hit A Quiet Place, and Mindy Kaling, who created her own series Champions.

Despite not being the new season or reboot that network NBC has teased, fans have already reacted to the news with delight.
