Greg Daniels plays coy when asked about a potential upcoming reboot of The Office.

After The Office exploded in popularity years after it first aired thanks to streaming, fans have long clamored for a reboot. Earlier this month, a report circulated suggesting a reboot announcement would come from NBC once the Writers Guild of America strike was settled. Now that the smoke has cleared from the work stoppage, The Office creator Greg Daniels has addressed the rumors head-on.

"Well, I think that it's very speculative," Daniels said in a chat with Collider."The fact that it kind of blew up based on one line in a Puck piece was kind of cool, I guess, in the sense that the fans still care a lot. But the thing I would say is, when there's something to announce, I will definitely announce it."

This is far from the first time Daniels has addressed a reboot, previously saying it's"not impossible" for something to happen, he'd just been concerned with bringing the series and tarnishing its reputation. "It was such a perfect thing that I would hesitate to open it up," the writer previously said in a THR profile."We got the chance to end it the way we wanted to end it. It wasn't like we were interrupted in the middle of a run or something. So in a sense it's completely an artistic whole.

Daniels added,"My biggest concern would be disappointing the fans. People will watch the entire series and then roll right into watching it again, and to me that means we ended it properly."What other sitcoms would you like to see get a revival?
