Get ready for The Office: Australia, the new Australian adaptation of the acclaimed comedy series The Office, launching on Prime Video on October 18, 2024. Created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, The Office has already been adapted in numerous countries, and this Australian version, starring Felicity Ward, brings a fresh feminine touch to the offbeat humor that has made the franchise such a success. Set in a packaging company, this series plunges into the chaotic management of Hannah Howard, a wacky manager trying to save her team.
In The Office: Australia, Hannah Howard, head of packaging company Flinley Craddick, is dealt a crushing blow: in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the head office announces that its branch will close and that all staff will have to telecommute. Refusing to see her office disappear, Hannah embarks on a series of absurd schemes to keep her team together and her company afloat. Like her iconic predecessors on The Office (Michael Scott and David Brent), Hannah promises anything and everything, gets herself into unlikely situations and makes promises she can't keep, all the while trying to preserve her "work family".
This adaptation should appeal to fans of office comedies, as well as those who appreciate awkward yet endearing characters who will do anything to preserve a semblance of normalcy. Felicity Ward, in the lead, brings a new dynamic to the role of eccentric manager, hitherto dominated by male characters. For viewers who have adored series such as The Office (US version), Le Bureau and Stromberg, The Office: Australia could offer a refreshing new take on the genre, with a distinctly Australian twist.
The Office: Australia promises to be an absurdist yet realistic comedy, starring Felicity Ward as a manager desperate to avoid the post-pandemic dissolution of her office. Available October 18, 2024 on Prime Video, the series promises to delight fans of The Office and other international adaptations, while bringing a fresh female perspective and hilarious situations.
