Michael Scott may not be returning to Scranton, but two other longtime Dunder Mifflin employees will be.

"The Office's" showrunner Greg Daniels revealed former series regulars Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak would be coming back for the show's one-hour finale.



All three departed the series at the end of Season 8, with Kaling and Novak making appearances in the Season 9 premiere.

Both Kaling and Novak, who also wrote for the show, are now working on Kaling's Fox comedy, "The Mindy Project", in which Novak will play a love interest of Kaling's character in an upcoming arc.

Nope. They weren't there. They would have been welcome additions, IMO.

In reality, there are six airings left for this show, and they'll start on either 4 or 11 April. The airdate for the "The Farm" polit episode ("The Farm" was not picked up as a series) has been confirmed for 14 March.

The episode "Livin' the Dream" has been extended to one hour. The final three episodes of the series will all be an hour long, and they're still trying to get a few more minutes added to the finale.
