Show executive Paul Lieberstein, who also plays Toby, has spoken about the planned Office spinoff The Farm.

The new series would follow Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) as he runs his family’s farm bed-and-breakfast.

Lieberstein told Vulture: “Basically we have a show about a family working together and a family business in the heartland.

“It’s kind of focused on some people who are not often represented on television. I think it’s really interesting; I’m super excited about it. I haven’t grown up on a farm myself, so I have a lot of research to do.”

Lieberstein added that work on the spinoff will begin “early next season”, explaining: “We’ll be able to focus on casting outside of pilot season. We’ll get to really do it right.”

We had first learned about an Office spin off in January.
