There's hope for The Office after all! Rather than going under, they're expanding — to China!
OK! GALLERY: STEVE CARELL THE OFFICE WILL CONTINUE
Ricky Gervais announced the exciting news on his blog on Thursday.
"I have some amazing news," Ricky wrote. "We are about to start work on developing a Chinese The Office. How cool is that?"

He also took the opportunity to clear up rumors that he'd be taking over Steve Carell's role.
"I'm not taking over from Steve Carell and will just continue to make millions for doing f*** all," he joked, "because I created the show and all the characters, and own the format and it's being syndicated now and I get paid every time any episode of any version is played anywhere in the world."
So that answers that!
