What’s that you say? You’d like more info on the rest of the cast? So far, the series regular roles include:
FANNIE SCHRUTE | Attractive, urban and in her late 20s/early 30s, Dwight’s younger sister fled the Schrute farm life for Boston as soon as she could, and has had little to do with her roots for quite some time. Now divorced with one son, Fannie is “a bit of a pseudo-intellectual lefty” with an ironic sense of humor and a great heart.
JEB SCHRUTE | Dwight’s easygoing thirtysomething brother hasn’t done well in any of the career paths he’s followed – worm breeder and Bigfoot hunter among them — but has found some success with a pot farm. He’s got none of Dwight’s dedication or work ethic, but he has made an exercise video about things you can do with a knife and a canoe. (We like him already.)
CAMERON WHITMAN | Dwight’s smart and slightly weird 9-year-old nephew (Fannie’s son) is a cosmopolitan lad who nevertheless feels the pull of his Schrute heritage, especially when he’s around someone — his uncles, perhaps? — who can offer the fatherly guidance he lacks.
HEINRICH MANHEIM | The Schrute siblings’ great uncle is charming, greedy, manipulative… and just may have had to spend time in Argentina following World War II, thanks to his German National Socialist roots. Oh, and he vows to kill Dwight by the end of the first episode.

Wait, what? Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but since when does Dwight have a brother and sister?
ReplyDeleteI have very mixed feelings about it but will give it a try. I really wish Mose would be a part of it, but I get it that he might be super busy with PnR.
ReplyDeleteHuh this show should not happen
ReplyDeleteEh. I'm still not sure about this. I suppose I'll give the pilot a chance if it happens, but I can't see myself sticking with it. And will it still be in the mockumentary format?
ReplyDeleteIs this another network joke? Like CBS with "Dancing on the Stars" ? The Office is nothing without Steve, so don't try and make up a new show to "save the audience." Give us something NEW!
ReplyDeleteGive it a rest already!
ReplyDeleteIts gotta have Mose Dwight would never leave him
ReplyDeleteDid they mean to release this information on April fool's day, cause this has to be a joke, right?
ReplyDeleteRight? This is going to the most ill fated spin off since Joey and The Ropers. Just saying.
Well this is confusing... I know that they've been talking about a Dwight spinoff for some time now, but you would've thought that they would've said something before the upfronts last month. So this must be either a joke or a proposed oncept that somehow got out as I wouldn't think that they would spin Dwight off when the Office itself is kinda on a precipice itself right now and I would think that NBC would want to stabilize one of their stronger performers before spinning off on of the characters that actually makes that show interesting.... I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
