The Office’s series finale is getting bigger. While NBC is still mum about whether or not Steve Carell will make a cameo, the network said that the episode is getting an extra few minutes.
In a press release today, NBC said that The Office will get an extra 15 minutes to say its goodbyes to television viewers. The episode was already scheduled for an hour, so the network is going to edit Hannibal to just 45 minutes. The Office finale will now air from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The network said that the finale takes place months after the documentary crew’s finished product airs on TV. Someone has gotten married (NBC didn’t say who) and the crew gets the office back together for some last interviews.
Confirmed guest stars include Mindy Kaling, B.J. Novak, Andy Buckley, Rachel Harris, Dakota Johnson, Joan Cusack, Ed Begley Jr., Malcolm Barrett, Matt Jones, Mike Shur and Robert Ray Schafer.
Even though Steve Carell and executive producer Greg Daniels have said repeatedly that Carell did not film a cameo, rumors persist. Just last night, it was reported by TVLine that he did film a cameo.
The Office finale airs on May 16.
