Domhnall Gleeson Consulted Steve Carell Before Joining New 'The Office' Series

The upcoming Peacock series, set in the same universe as the original, will feature Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore in lead roles.

Carell confirmed he won't reprise his role as Michael Scott in the new series.
Gleeson sought Carell's advice before accepting the role, reflecting positively on the original show.
The new series will follow a documentary crew at a struggling Midwestern newspaper.
Production is scheduled to begin in July with Greg Daniels and Michael Koman at the helm.
Other original cast members might still make appearances in the series.
