Ricky Gervais 'very excited' for The Office's female-led Australian remake

Following The Office's runs in the United Kingdom and the United States the TV series has been set for an Australian adaptation coming to Prime Video - with a female in the lead role for the first time. Australian comedian and actress Felicity Ward has signed on as a new version of the middle manager character originally played by Ricky. "I'm very excited about Australia remaking my little show from the turn of the century. Office politics have changed a bit in 20 years, so can't wait to see how they navigate a modern-day David Brent."
