While you wait for the next show from the team behind The Office, the latest remake of the mockumentary series gets its first trailer from down under

It’s certainly cringey, just not in the right way.

The first trailer for the latest iteration of The Office is here, this time being an Australian version and it looks… not great.

Look, we all know that the US version of The Office is an incredibly popular TV series, massively outdoing the British original, but I’ll be perfectly honest, I didn’t know how often it had been remade. Outside of the UK original and American versions, there have been 12 different takes on The Office, including ones from Canada, Germany, India, and Poland. And soon, that number is going to go up to 15 in total, as an Australian remake of the series is coming out next month, with Prime Video dropping the first trailer for the mockumentary yesterday. There’s just one slight problem, which is that it is one of the most painfully unfunny things I’ve seen in a good long while.

Back in May , a new offshoot of the US version of The Office, supposedly titled The Paper, was officially ordered, with a fresh batch of cast members seemingly confirmed last week alongside Star Wars’ Domhnall Gleeson and The White Lotus’ Sabrina Impacciatore. This new series will have some of the original team behind the US Office, so hopefully will fare a bit better than the Australian one.
