The Office Gets a Reprieve
- January 1, 2021
Word on the street was that The Office was leaving Netflix Canada at the same time it was scheduled to depart Netflix US but it appears that the show is getting a reprieve – in Canada at least.
In June 2019, an announcement was made that, due to NBC launching their own streaming service, The Office would no longer be available on Netflix after December 31, 2020. Netflix Canada retweeted the statement, leading fans to believe that the same would be true for Canadian subscribers as well. The news hit Netflix subscribers pretty hard as the award-winning sitcom is one of the most popular binge shows on the service. In a Y2K style move, many subscribers began down-loading seasons of The Office to prolong the inevitable as long as possible.
2020 came to an end but by happy chance, The Office remained available for Canadian subscribers. It turns out that the NBC streaming service will not be available in Canada at this time, therefore Netflix Canada will continue to host the very popular sitcom. Though some fans are frustrated by the misreporting, most are ecstatic that Michael Scott and his quirky band of workmates will continue their antics North of the 49th parallel.
A Netflix Canada representative confirms the show will continue to be available for the foreseeable future and if or when the time comes for The Office to end its time on Netflix Canada an official statement will be made, giving fans months notice.
So, for now, get cozy and settle in for another binge-go-round with the Dunder Mifflin gang.
