Ricky Gervais Approves Female Lead for Australian Remake of 'The Office'

Felicity Ward stars as Hannah Howard in the gender-flipped version premiering on Prime Video October 18.

Ricky Gervais has personally approved Felicity Ward's casting as the first female lead in any version of 'The Office'.
Ward plays Hannah Howard, the managing director of the Flinley Craddick packaging company in Sydney.
The Australian remake marks the 13th international adaptation of the iconic series.
Ward humorously noted she did 'zero preparation' for the role, as it closely mirrors her own personality.
Fans will be able to watch the new series on Prime Video in Australia and the UK starting October 18.
