If You’ve Ever Watched TV, You NEED To Watch This New Netflix Show
From the creators of The Boys, Fuller House and Just Like That comes the newest binge-worthy Netflix original hitting streaming this summer: Principal’s Office.
If you love The Office even half as much as me, I assume you’d be thrilled to be reunited with all of your favorite coworkers. But what if I told you, this time, they’re all in high school! This 10 episode miniseries is the The Office prequel we never knew we needed. Principal’s Office is Mad Men meets Freaks and Geeks meets Stranger Things meets The Office. And I mean that literally! With a star studded cast of character actors including Jon Hamm, Millie Bobby Brown, Jason Seagal and the entire cast of The Office reprising their roles according to hidden clauses in their original contracts, Principal’s Office gives old fans the chance to sit back, relax and let their mind go blank as they soak up the frictionless, nostalgic familiarity that makes Principal’s Office the show of the summer!
But Principal’s Office isn’t just for people born before 1995. Fans of Leslie Knope and her crazy local parks department are going to want to keep their eyes peeled during episode two, when it’s revealed that Principal’s Office takes place in Pawnee, Indiana! Because of the show’s ridiculous budget and credible threats by the production team to blacklist noncompliant actors, the full cast of Parks and Rec have agreed to reunite for one last hilarious romp! You’ve seen Parks and Rec, but you’ve never seen Parks and Rec exist in the same universe as a The Office prequel. That old fantasy about Michael Scott meeting Ron Swanson? This summer, Netflix is making that dream a reality.
But Netflix knows that to make a hit TV show these days, they can’t just cater to people who watch TV, so whether you’re an octogenarian with no contemporary pop culture touchstones or a six year old child whose media diet is entirely comprised of making in app purchases in mobile games, don’t worry, there’s something for you too!
Grandma will be excited to hear that with the help of modern editing and artificial intelligence, Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn make guest appearances as Jim Halpert’s kooky grandparents! And your seven year old little brother will go bananas once Epic Games officially announces the new Dwight Schrute Fortnite skin!
So, don’t miss out on the cultural event of the year! Netflix has finally overcome their last remaining vestige of shame and is committed to rebooting, remaking, or shoehorning in literally any intellectual property they can get their hands on if you just promise to just watch this show.
All ten, 200 minute episodes will be released five minutes from right now on Netflix. We know you’ll watch it, what else do you have going on?
