In a statement, NBC confirmed that it has secured the exclusive domestic streaming rights to The Office beginning in 2021.
“The Office has become a staple of pop-culture and is a rare gem whose relevance continues to grow at a time when fans have more entertainment choices than ever before,” said Bonnie Hammer, of NBCUniversal in a statement.
“We can’t wait to welcome the gang from Dunder Mifflin to NBCUniversal’s new streaming service.”
Better clear your calendar for some serious binging because you only have a little under 19 months to watch all 201 episodes until they’re gone from Netflix forever.
