Oh Mr Wilssssson! Rainn gets his own Office spin-off

Rainn Wilson mustn’t have gotten that call about a “Super” franchise.

“The Office” regular is getting his own spin-off, says Deadline.

It sounds like it’s far from a done-deal, but with the success of the Steve Carell show, and Wilson’s popularity, it’ll likely come together quick.

Deadline‘s story :

I hear that NBC is working on an Office spinoff starring Rainn Wilson for a potential midseason 2013 launch. No deals have been closed yet but I’ve learned that the proposed spinoff is a family comedy, which was the brainchild of Wilson and The Office executive producer/showrunner Paul Lieberstein. It will have Dwight (Wilson) living at the Schrute family beet farm and bed & breakfast, which have been featured on the show several times, including in an episode where Jim and Pam visited Dwight there. The potential spinoff will be introduced in an Office episode later this season set at Schrute Farms. “Paul and Rainn have been joking for years about Dwight’s life on the farm, his family and how ill-suited he is to run a B&B,” a source close to The Office said. “A while ago, it started to feel like a show to them. NBC agreed, it’s been further developed to include multiple generations, many cousins and neighbors. (It is unclear if that would include cousin Mose who has been featured on the show.) At its base it will be about a family farm struggling to survive and a family trying to stay together.”

So, will it have cameos from the original “Office” crew, you think?
