John Krasinski reveals if he will reprise Jim Halpert role in the ‘Office' spinoff series

He's getting the stapler and Jello-O ready. 'The Office' star John Krasinski 'would be down' to do a cameo on the show's spinoff series, 'The Paper.' 'Done! If they ask me, I'm in,' Krasinski, 43, said when asked about the comedy during a recent interview with EXTRA. 7 'The Office' star, John Krasinski, said that he 'would be down' to do a cameo on the show's spin-off series, 'The Paper.' Getty Images 'I'm excited to see what they do with it. It's such an amazing idea, and listen, if Greg [Daniels] is behind it, we're all in. And you can't get a better actor than [Domhnall Gleeson] to take on the mantle,' Krasinski went on. 'He's so, so great. He's going to be so perfect for it, and we'll probably start doing watch parties again just to watch them.' 'The Office,' which ran for 9 seasons from 2005 to 2013 on NBC, was a mockumentary of a group of office workers at a paper company going through their mundane days, consisting of ego clashes, inappropriate behavior, and romance. Krasinski, who played Jim Halpert, co-starred alongside Steve Carell, Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson, Mindy Kaling, B.J. Novak, Kate Flannery, Phyllis Smith, Brian Baumgartner, Leslie David Baker and more. In the book 'Welcome to Dunder Mifflin: The Ultimate Oral History of The Office,' authors Daniels, Baumgarter and Ben Silverman give readers and longtime fans the inside story behind the hit show. 7 Krasinski played Jim Halpert in the hit show 'The Office.' Everett Collection One of the most notable parts of the book revealed that there was going to be a rift between lovebirds Jim Halpert (Krasinski) and Pam Beesly (Fischer). Originally, Jim was going to make out with Pam's replacement, Cathy Simms (played by Lindsay Broad), in Season 8 of the show. However, there was pushback on that — especially from Krasinski — saying that it would have altered the show's legacy. 7 Krasinski and Jenna Fischer played lovebirds, Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly, on the show.

'My feeling is there is a threshold with which you can push our audience. They are so dedicated. We have shown such great respect to them. But there's a moment where if you push them too far, they'll never come back. And I think that if you show Jim cheating, they'll never come back.' Just last year, Krasinski said that he wasn't going to be in 'The Papers.' 'As of now, I haven't been asked,' Krasinski said to Entertainment Tonight in 2024. 'But the truth is, I'd do anything for Greg Daniels. It sounds like they have a really fun idea.' 7 'Done! If they ask me, I'm in,' Krasinski said when asked about doing a cameo during a recent interview with EXTRA. Zuma / Carell, meanwhile, doesn't plan to reprise his Michael Scott role. 'It's just a new thing, and there's really no reason for my character to show up in something like that,' Carell told The Hollywood Reporter in May 2024, saying that he is 'excited' for the show and it 'sounds like a great concept.' The spinoff series will follow Gleeson, alongside co-star Sabrina Impacciatore, 56 ('The White Lotus'), as new characters navigate their lives in the Midwest. He previously worked with Krasinski in this year's 'Fountain of Youth.' 7 Since 'The Office' ended, Krasinski has been in several shows and movies, including 'A Quiet Place,' A Quiet Place Part II,' and the 'Jack Ryan' series on Amazon Prime.
