The upcoming ninth season of “The Office,” NBC’s hit adaptation of the British sitcom with the same name, will be the show’s last, producer Greg Daniels confirmed Tuesday.
Premiering in 2005, the show helped vault Steve Carrell to stardom. Carrell, who played the clumsy but affable boss Michael Scott, left the cast in 2011. Daniels said Tuesday he hopes Carell will reprise his role at some point during the final season.
