The mockumentary series, which starred Ricky as well as Martin Freeman, chronicled the work lives of various people employed at a small office branch of a paper company, managed by cringy David Brent.

The days of Michael Scott serving as the boss of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company's Scranton branch are long over, but The Office continues to expand its franchise with more spinoffs. The next one will imagine office life in Australia,

The trailer for Prime Video Australia's version of The Office introduces Felicity Ward's Hannah Howard, the franchise's first woman boss.

Big announcement. Can I have a drum roll please? The drum roll, Lloyd, that's the only drum roll. People ask me how can I become a great boss and the answer is having a happy staff that love you. This is a proper HR nightmare. As of today we are all back in the office full time. What? That's not good news. I'm promoting you to productivity manager. Yes, Sir. Do I want to support the vision of my branch manager at all costs? Is this the dark web? No, it's not the dark web. Is that Lizzie? OK, the perks are coming to work. Riling up Lizzie. Flirting. Watching Nick rile up Lizzie. What's his name? My crow's name is Russell. Hello, Rusty. How are you, mate? Nick. No, we lost one of our own last week. Brian died. We were so close. He's always in my heart. Was he the tall, sad one? Yeah. No, he was the short and smiley one. Yeah, that's what I meant. What nationality is he? What sexual identity is he? Doesn't feel relevant, does it? Hannah is a Riddle swallowed by an idiot and shut out by moron. Those people are like family to me and I won't let you throw them out on the street. The daily commute is killing me. Is someone sleeping in here? No. Anyone knowing about it, it's not a big deal. It's been 4 nights this week. It's nothing. It's the race that stops the nation. Giddy up. It's awake, but I want people to feel awake. I don't want to be on the committee. I understand that. But you're also the oldest and closest to the end, so I would really love your buy in on this event. OK. If I die while I'm still working here, please don't let this happen. Promoting women into positions of power. That's my mantra. Really. I've never heard you say that. Oh, my back hurts from carrying all my sisters all the time. Ow, OK, well I'll see you around. Yeah, you definitely will because I'll be on my desk all day. OK, well I'll, I'll see you there. You will for the next 9 hours.

We’ve had The Office UK. We’ve had The Office US. And now, The Office Australia will be heading to screens this autumn, too. First dreamed up in 2001 by British comedian Ricky Gervais, the premise of The Office is simple: staff in the department of a soulless paper company (or packaging company) have to contend both with the banality of their day-to-day job and with their overly demanding boss.
