Comedy Central has acquired the rights to The Office beginning this Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 15, 2018. The comedy will get a launch marathon from 9am-11pm that day. The #1 brand in comedy has acquired all nine seasons of the instant-classic comedy series that ran for nine seasons on NBC from 2005 to 2013. Select episodes will be available to stream on cc.com and the CC App. The Office airs Monday–Thursday from 5p–7p and 12a–1:30a, Fridays from 3p–6p and in Late Night (times vary), Saturdays in Late Night (times vary), and Sundays from 8a–4p and Late Night (times vary). The Office joins the line-up filled with other sitcoms such as Scrubs, That '70s Show and Key & Peele. Reruns of The Office were previously on TBS.

From Deedle-Dee Productions, Reveille and Universal Television, The Office stars Steve Carell as Michael Scott, Ed Helms as Andy Bernard, John Krasinski as Jim Halpert, Rainn Wilson as Dwight Schrute, Jenna Fischer as Pam Beesly, BJ Novak as Ryan Howard, Mindy Kaling as Kelly Kapoor, Ellie Kemper as Erin Hannon and Craig Robinson as Darryl Philbin, among others. The series presents a hilarious documentary-style look at the humorous, and sometimes poignant, foolishness that plagues the 9-to-5 world. Based on the award-winning BBC hit, The Office is a fly-on-the-wall "docu-reality" parody of modern American office life that delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin, a paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
