Freeform announced today that it has licensed all nine seasons of “The Office” from NBCUniversal Global Distribution and will begin airing the series beginning on Jan 1, 2022. To celebrate this new addition, Freeform will air two marathons over New Year’s weekend, starting with a countdown of the 30 Best Episodes, as determined by fans and multiple publications, on Saturday, Jan 1, from 1 p.m.-12 a.m EST/PST. On Sunday, Jan. 2, Freeform will air a second marathon of episodes showcasing cast favorites, based on interviews with the cast of “The Office,” from 1 p.m.-11 p.m EST/PST. In celebration of the news, “The Office” star Melora Hardin recorded a video announcement as well; watch it here.
The addition of the beloved show also signals a change in Freeform’s weekday program lineup. “The Office” will air Monday-Thursday (6:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. EST/PST). The network will continue airing its originals throughout the week, as well as episodes of “Family Guy” on Fridays and movies now airing exclusively on weekends. This updated program schedule reflects Freeform’s shift toward more irreverent, adult comedy and content while still providing family favorites on the weekends.
“The Office” is a comedy masterpiece that satirizes everyday office life,” said Chuck Saftler, head of Business Operations for ABC, Freeform, FX Networks and Acquisitions in Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution’s Networks division. “I can’t think of a better way for Freeform to ring in 2022 when so many people are preparing to head back to their workplace offices. It’s a perfect primer and further positions Freeform as a go-to destination for bold, irreverent programming.”
