Novak returned so Ryan and Kelly could run off into the sunset. Ryan abandoned his baby, only for Nelly Catherine Tate to finally got the adopted child she always wanted. Happy endings for all! David Wallace Andy Buckley committed to lending his support to the campaign, saying Oscar had good ideas.
We think Oscar is finally ready to unleash that know-it-all brain of his. Dwight fired Kevin Brian Baumgartner because … well … he is terrible with numbers. Kwapis had originally directed the series' pilot episode. His last directorial credit for the series, prior to "Finale", however, was the fifth season episode " Company Picnic ". I think he had grown past the idea of being in the documentary, that was my take on it. That [Michael Scott] had said goodbye to that aspect of his life, that that's not what was important to him.
I just thought, yeah he'd go back and visit, but he wouldn't want the camera crew to be documenting it. The episode will feature the return of several of the series' actors and actresses, including former series writers and stars B. Early during production for the season, Kinsey and Wilson also noted that the cast and crew were hoping for a return of former lead actor Steve Carell as Michael Scott. In mid-December, Krasinski later revealed that he was optimistic about a return; in an interview with E!
Online Krasinski said that the producers were supposedly "still trying to figure out [Carell's] schedule" and that the finale "just wouldn't be the same without him". However, NBC chairman Robert Greenblatt later admitted during an interview that while he is "hopeful", he does not think Carell will return; he noted that Carell was satisfied with his character's exit and did not want to tarnish it. On January 16, Daniels revealed that Carell would not appear in the finale in any capacity, a decision that Carell later reiterated.
Three months later, however, the producers for The Office mounted "an 11th hour effort last month" to get Carell to make a cameo in the show's final episode, according to TVLine. According to the article, "while no one is confirming that the final diplomatic push proved successful, no one is denying it either. However, an anonymous source close to the show cryptically said "don't rule anything out".
TVLine later reported on May 6, that Carell would appear in a cameo, although NBC declined to comment and Carell's representatives continued to deny the reports. The initial idea for the finale was thought of by Daniels during production of the third season , described as "a reunion show, in the fashion of the post-competition cast rehashes familiar from reality shows like Survivor. The initial table read for the episode took place on March 4, Filming commenced on March 6.
According to Jenna Fischer , the episode took nine days to film, with the cast devoting 12 hours a day to the episode. Filming for the episode and series as a whole came to an end on March 16, Wilson later tweeted a picture of the "empty" set after all filming had been finished. Originally, the episode was supposed to be the 23rd and 24th episodes of the season, which would have meant that the series aired exactly episodes. However, the series' penultimate episode was elongated into 2 separate episodes, resulting in "Finale" being the 24th and 25th episodes of the season.
This meant that the last part of "Finale" will be the series' st episode. Once filming finished, Daniels in an interview with TVLine expressed his hope to expand the episode, stating, "I was very excited with the footage we got [ However, how well his return was executed was debated among fans. That being said, many fans were disappointed to see him get so few lines in such a long finale. He simply leaves.
This seems out of character for him, especially considering how much he meant to Dwight and the others. While the finale expertly tied up the loose ends, it also successfully gave each of the main characters a new chapter.
Stanley retires, Erin finds her mom and dad, Toby gets included by the gang, Pam and Jim decide to move away, Andy regains security in himself, and Creed gets arrested.
The list continues, and even smaller characters like Mose, Carol, and David Wallace get a final shot in the spotlight. The Office finale might have explained what happened to most of Dunder Mifflin's employees, but some viewers were left wondering what happened to specific characters. Michael seems like the type of character who would find a way to bring his entire family to a wedding.
The finale calls back many of the popular jokes and gags from earlier episodes.
