It seems that 'The Office' may or may not be kinda winding down. But apparently there's still more story to tell in Rainn Wilson's character, Dwight Schrute.The spin-off that is in the works according to MTV, will be about the Schrute family beet farm that's been mentioned in a few episodes of 'The Office'.

Introducing other Schrute family members, and having Dwight run a bed & breakfast...interesting.

"With "The Office" not yet picked up for a ninth season, the plan is to start testing the concept in an episode later this season. So far, it's believed that Wilson, as well as actor/showrunner Paul Lieberstein and executive producer Ben Silverman are involved.
"Paul and Rainn have been joking for years about Dwight's life on the farm, his family and how ill-suited he is to run a B&B," a source told the Deadline Hollywood. "A while ago, it started to feel like a show to them. NBC agreed, it's been further developed to include multiple generations, many cousins and neighbors. At its base it will be about a family farm struggling to survive and a family trying to stay together."

I enjoyed 'The Office' for awhile, and still on occasion find myself laughing at reruns, but do you think that it deserves a spin-off? If so, IMO, Dwight would be the character to get one, but.....

What do you think? Would you watch a show focused on Dwight's antics on the family farm?
