The Office is the title of a number of mockumentary sitcoms based on a British series originally created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant as The Office in 2001. The original series also starred Gervais as the boss and main character of the show. The two seasons were broadcast on BBC Two in 2001 and 2002, totalling 12 episodes, with two special episodes in 2003, and an extra short spectacular ten years later.[1] Versions of the original were subsequently made in Germany, the United States, and many other countries.
The longest-running version of the series, the US adaptation, ran for nine seasons on the NBC Television Network from 2005 to 2013, with a total of 201 episodes. According to Nielsen Ratings as of April 2019, the US version of The Office was the No. 1 streamed show on Netflix in the United States.[2] A follow-up of the US version was announced in 2024 and has been picked up by Peacock, a streaming service owned by NBCUniversal Media Group.[3]
