Is The Office free on Peacock

On Thursday, all 201 episodes of NBC’s The Office were made available to stream for free on Peacock, for a limited time.

The news came via Twitter, with star Kate Flannery appearing to promote an Office-themed social media challenge. “Oh my gosh,” she said. “This is gonna be huge.”

Running for nine seasons, between 2005 and 2013, the workplace comedy was a ratings smash for many years, claiming a Golden Globe, five Emmys and many more accolades. Since it wrapped, the show hasn’t faltered for diehard fans, as a go-to worthy of many repeat viewings.

For a number of years, The Office was available to stream on Netflix. But since January 1st of this year, it has been accessible online, exclusively on NBC’s service. The comedy will remain available for free viewing on Peacock through Wednesday, March 24.

Created by Greg Daniels, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, based on a BBC mockumentary series of the same name, The Office examines the daily lives of an average group of American office workers, and the hijinks they get up to, amidst the tedium of their jobs. Steve Carell led the series, which also starred John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson, Mindy Kaling and many more.

At long last, the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company’s shenanigans can be streamed in full for free — but only for a limited time.

The NBCUniversal-owned Peacock streaming service unlocked all seasons of the acclaimed “The Office” comedy series for its free tier of users on Thursday. All regular episodes of the nine-season sitcom can be streamed on the platform through March 25. The news arrived several months after Peacock caused a stir by paywalling all but the show’s first two seasons behind the streaming service’s premium subscription tiers ($4.99 a month with ads or $9.99 a month with no ads).

Though Peacock is now streaming more “The Office” content for free than ever, the streaming service is still locking the “Superfan Episodes,” which include never-before-seen footage and deleted scenes, behind its premium tiers, according to Variety. The streaming service also offers other “The Office” content, such as highlights, bloopers, featurettes, and interviews.

Popular comedy series are key ingredients to the success of most of leading streaming services; Peacock’s acquisition of “The Office” was considered a major blow to Netflix, which served as the show’s streaming home for several years. IndieWire’s Libby Hill recently noted that “The Office” continues to be a massive draw for streaming service users in a January report on 2020 streaming habits.

“Leading all streaming competitors with a truly jaw-dropping 57 billion minutes watched is ‘The Office,’ which should come as no surprise to anyone who has turned to the soothing sound of sitcom banter to drown out the screaming existential crisis that was last year in its entirety,” Hill wrote in a January article. “These numbers likely come as a dagger to the heart for Netflix, long the streaming home of the series, which made the leap to Peacock on Jan. 1.”

“The Office” has been a popular topic in television news over the last few months; Leslie David Baker, who portrayed apathetic office worker Stanley Hudson on the show, started a crowdfunding campaign in 2020 to create a spinoff series centered around his character. More recently, “The Office” showrunner Greg Daniels suggested that a reboot of the beloved series wouldn’t be impossible as long as he was involved with the project.
