I'm excited for the return of my favorite character from The Office in the new Peacock spin-off series.

The office is not the same without the presence of a "shameless" accountant.

Óscar Núñez will reprise his beloved role as Oscar Martínez in the new Peacock series, which does not yet have an official title. It has been speculated that the producers wanted Núñez's appearance to be a surprise, although the news recently leaked.

The nostalgic anticipation for "The Office" resonates among many fans, especially with the announcement of this spin-off. Initially, there was some concern about the direction of the project, particularly after a failed attempt at a continuation on Prime Video. However, excitement has grown with Núñez's return, although it is clarified that he will not be the main character. Instead, a new protagonist will be introduced, making Oscar the only original cast member returning.

It has been confirmed that this new series is set in the same universe as "The Office," but it will not function as a direct sequel. Producer Greg Daniels has remarked that he feels he has completed most of the characters' stories, but he would like to explore more about Oscar.

The production, currently under the title "Untitled Daniels/Korman Project," follows a group of volunteer journalists trying to revive a struggling newspaper in the Midwest. While it does not focus on Dunder Mifflin, it maintains a connection to the documentary format that characterized "The Office," using a similar filming style. This could be the reason behind Núñez's involvement, whether as an employee of the new company or as someone with experience filming documentaries.
