The Office Spinoff The Paper Melora Hardin: Jan Levinson's Surprise Return Pitch
Melora Hardin pitches a unique return as Jan Levinson for 'The Office' spinoff 'The Paper.' Discover how she could return as the documentary's director.
Could the legendary Jan Levinson be making a comeback from behind the lens? Melora Hardin, who immortalized the icy executive on The Office, has the perfect pitch for her character to join the new spinoff series, The Paper.
The Office Spinoff The Paper Melora Hardin Potential Return
According to Entertainment Weekly, Hardin isn't just open to a reboot—she’s actively spitballing ideas with creator Greg Daniels. Her vision? Jan Levinson as the director of the mockumentary crew, a twist that would shatter the fourth wall in spectacular fashion.
I said to Greg... 'It would be really fun if Jan was the director, and eventually, every now and then, the camera turns around, and it’s her.'
The Paper follows the same crew that captured the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch 20 years ago, now documenting a struggling newspaper in Toledo, Ohio. While its 10-episode first season has already featured Oscar Nuñez as a series regular and a cameo by Bob Vance (Vance Refrigeration), the addition of Jan would bring a new level of chaotic energy to the workplace.
