BBC is planning a filmed reunion to mark The Office’s 25th anniversary, with Martin Freeman and Mackenzie Crook returning for a one-off tribute. Multiple outlets report that Freeman and Crook are reuniting for the first time in about 15 years since the show’s run. Coverage also describes The Office as the BBC mockumentary series that debuted in 2001, set in a fictional paper company’s Slough branch, and created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Several articles say Ricky Gervais, who co-created the series, will not take part in the reunion despite his involvement in the show’s original production and his role as a creator and star. The reporting also includes comments attributed to Freeman and Crook about their experiences on the series, including their views of the U.S. remake. Across the different accounts, the main developments are the announced reunion special featuring Freeman and Crook, and Gervais’s absence from that specific event. The articles collectively treat the reunion as a celebration of the show’s long-running legacy as the 25th anniversary is observed.
