NBC Nixes The Office Spin-Off

at .

The Farm has been shut down.

Rainn Wilson Tweeted today that his Office spin-off - which would have followed Dwight Schrute and his family on a farm they inherited - will not move forward after all.

"NBC has passed on The Farm TV show,” the actor wrote. “Had a blast making the pilot — onwards and upwards!”

Members of the Schrute family have already been cast and the sitcom will air the "backdoor pilot," in which we meet these relatives, as a standalone Season 9 episode.

The Office concludes in May.

The Office Quotes

Kevin: Michael, did you just throw up in here?
Michael: Nah. Just poopin'. You know how I be.
Kevin: It smells like throw-up in here.
Michael: Crazy world. Lot of smells.

David, here it is. My philosophy is basically this. And this is something that I live by. And I always have. And I always will. Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what. No matter... where. Or who, or who you are with, or, or where you are going, or... or where you've been... ever. For any reason, whatsoever.

Michael
