When Did The Office End
The American version of The Office concluded with its ninth season in 2013. The series finale aired on May 16, 2013, after a nine-season run on NBC. The show had been adapted from the original British series created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
Why Did the Show End
NBC and the production team decided to end the series while it still had strong ratings. Lead actor Steve Carell chose to leave after his contract expired, making a continuation without Michael Scott difficult. The creators opted for a planned finale rather than a gradual cancellation.
What Happened to the Cast After The Office
Many cast members moved into film, streaming projects, and new TV roles. Stars such as Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, and Mindy Kaling continued working in entertainment. The show also remains a major asset for NBCUniversal through syndication and streaming, as noted by Variety.
Where to Watch The Office Now
The Office is available on streaming platforms including Peacock and Netflix in many regions. Episodes continue to generate consistent viewership and licensing revenue for the rights holders.
