Dwight Schrute may finally be off to greener pastures… literally. I hear that NBC is working on an Office
spinoff starring Rainn Wilson for a potential midseason 2013 launch.
No
deals have been closed yet but I’ve learned that the proposed spinoff
is a family comedy, which was the brainchild of Wilson and The Office
executive producer/showrunner Paul Lieberstein.
It will have Dwight
(Wilson) living at the Schrute family beet farm and bed & breakfast,
which have been featured on the show several times, including in an
episode where Jim and Pam visited Dwight there. (photos below) The
potential spinoff will be introduced in an Office episode later this season set at Schrute Farms
