Rainn Wilson Argues the Antics of Michael and Dwight Are a Relic of the Past, but the Network Clearly Disagrees ...Middle East

Rainn Wilson just dropped a hot take that The Office would never survive in today’s comedy landscape, calling the show’s humor “too inappropriate” for 2026. The actor, who played Dwight Schrute for nine seasons, told Fox News Digital that the cringe-worthy antics of Michael Scott and Dwight – characters designed to be clueless, offensive, and utterly lacking in self-awareness – wouldn’t fly in today’s cultural climate. 

But here’s the kicker, Peacock clearly disagrees, because the streaming service greenlit The Paper, a series set in the same universe, proving that the network isn’t ready to let go of that Office magic just yet. The Paper wrapped up its first season in September 2025, with a second season already in the works. It follows the chaotic daily grind of a struggling Midwestern newspaper, and while it’s not a direct continuation of The Office, it’s hard to ignore the tonal similarities.
