James Spader returned to TV this season to replace Steve Carrell on The Office, but turns out his he too will be replaced if the show is back for a ninth season. It was decision to quit Dunder Mifflin according to Variety. The show’s executive producer Paul Lieberstein explained, “James always wanted this to be a one-year arc, and he now leaves us having created one of the most enigmatic and dynamic characters in television. He’s been a great friend to me and the show, helping us successfully transition into the post-Michael Scott years, and I’m grateful for that.”
I wonder who they will get to replace him because I think The Office will be back on NBC next year because it is their best rated sitcom.
