ecrets rarely last long in a workplace environment and even less so in Hollywood, but as it heads into its eighth and first Steve Carell-less season, “The Office” has kept a major reveal under wraps.
The strategy, it seems, has been to distract us all with the shiny new addition of last season’s finale guest star James Spader – who joins the cast as the startlingly intense new Sabre-Dunder Mifflin CEO Robert California – but they’ve kept a lid on the revelation of a SECOND major cast add, a mysterious someone who’ll step into the Scranton managerial seat vacated by Carell.
“The manager position is still open, and they told me who that's going to be and I'm not allowed to tell anyone,” star Jenna Fischer tells PopcornBiz. “It's very good. I think that people are going to be really happy - I was happy! It was good, a good choice.”
“We can't really talk about it,” adds Angela Kinsey. “There will be some new character, I can say that much. We're very stoked about this season as a cast. I have to say that at season eight of a show, I think things can get a little tired and we have this whole new sort of do-over. It's really kind of fun for us.”

If true, good job on keeping that under wraps! I had convinced myself the new manager was Andy, and all the spoilers kept pointing to him.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a good thing that the new manager is someone new... I wasn't very keen on the idea of one of the current actors taking on the position... I think it could compromise the group's dynamic.
ReplyDeleteI am super curious to find out who it is.
I really hope not. I was pulling for Andy.
ReplyDeleteif it is someone new, please be Elizabeth Perkins from "Weeds", she's hilarious and a great actress and I would freaking love that!
ReplyDeleteThis show is either stalling because they can't make up their minds or they have someone in mind and need to wait until he/she is finished with another gig.
