The Office fans will be introduced to never-before-seen material when the beloved sitcom moves to Peacock in January.
Currently, all nine seasons of the hit series are streaming on Netflix, which has the exclusive rights to the show until the end of 2020. Next year, it will relaunch on Peacock, NCBUniversal's new streaming platform. And according to Matt Strauss, chairman of Peacock and NBCUniversal Digital Enterprises, it will feature unreleased content to entice viewers.
"We will be reintroducing The Office in a more complete way, incorporating elements that were not part of the original broadcast," Strauss said in a recent interview with Bloomberg.
