Thanks again to officetally.com for bringing us more Office news
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117987409.html?categoryid=14&cs=1
If you don't want to read the whole article here are the fast facts:
Aziz Ansari (from MTV's Human Giant) is the first to be cast in the Office spinoff
Still, it's looking more likely that the show may not be a spinoff in the traditional sense. Despite early speculation that at least one "Office" character will segue to the new show, that's unlikely at this point.
The two (Greg Daniels and Mike Schur) have narrowed the show's premise down to a handful of ideas but haven't yet zoomed in on a specific concept.
The new show has already started putting together a writing team, including "Everybody Loves Raymond" alum Tucker Cawley, "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" vet Dan Goor and "South Park" scribe Alan Yang.
Rashida Jones has a talent deal with Universal. It's still up in the air on whether she will be in the spin off or not.
