The Office is a hit sitcom, and Steve Carrell is a major force in it. However, when he exited in 2011, some fans claimed that the show's quality had become dull.
But Jenna Fischer, who played Dunder Mifflin, has thrown her weight behind the series.
"I think there was this lore, especially among the cast and the creatives, that maybe we hit our peak in season 3 or season 4," she told the Fly on the Wall podcast.
“And also this belief that the two seasons after Steve left, we were just treading water, and maybe they weren’t as good.
She continued, “But when I watched everything, some of my favorite episodes were in seasons 8 and 9 after Steve had left. There were still these amazing storylines."
On the other hand, the spinoff of The Office, titled The Paper, starring Domnhall Gleeson, Tim Key, Tracy Letts, Sabrina Impacciatore, and original cast member Oscar Nuñez.
It will come this September on Peacock.
