Steve Carell game for The Office reunion

Steve Carell says that he is open to a future return as Michael Scott in a reunion special of The Office.

Steve Carell has admitted that he is open to the idea of filming new episodes of The Office in the future.

The comedy ran for nine seasons on NBC between 2005 and 2013, with Carell appearing in the first seven as the self-proclaimed 'World's Best Boss' Michael Scott.

The show has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity recently through streaming services, sparking speculation that it could return for a reunion special or even multiple new episodes.

Carell has teamed up with The Office showrunner Greg Daniels for new Netflix comedy series Space Force and was asked by Entertainment Weekly whether he would work with Daniels again on an Office reunion or a third TV series.

"I would work with Greg at any time," he replied. "I trust him implicitly, so I'd definitely do another show. I would continue on this show with him. I would develop something new with him in a heartbeat.

"And I think everybody from The Office feels that way about Greg. He's such a good guy and he's so smart and he took such great pains with that show. And with this one, too. In terms of casting, and not just casting the right actor for the part, but with good people.

"It's something we found on The Office that we all got along, everyone was nice and ended up really caring about one another. And I think he has a knack for that. He likes to hire decent human beings who become friends and have strong relationships because that's such a big part of anything being successful - the strength of those relationships."

Daniels recently suggested that an Office reunion would be unlikely anytime soon.
