Apple TV+ reports first season stars, including Wilson, Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, and Lilli Kay, will return for season two.

Today, Apple TV+ announced that its beloved sports comedy hit, Stick, starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson and created by Jason Keller, has been renewed for a second season.

Stick Season 2 will offer more heart, laughs, and new characters, as well as the return of the ensemble cast including Wilson, Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, and Lilli Kay.

“I am inspired and humbled by the audience reaction to ‘Stick,’ and I’m thrilled to be making a second season with this magical cast, led by the incomparable Owen Wilson, and the wonderful creative team at Apple TV+,” said creator Jason Keller.

“It’s a joy to be able to continue this story. Most importantly, however, this season two order will provide me with an undeniable excuse to play even more golf. Thank you, Apple TV+.”

“I think we all had a great time making it,” said star and executive producer Owen Wilson.

Apple TV+ has picked up a second season of Stick. The renewal coincides with the sports comedy starring Owen Wilson dropping its Season 1 finale on the streamer today.

Confirmed to return for Season 2 is the main cast that includes Wilson as Pryce Cahill (nicknamed Stick), Peter Dager as Santi, Marc Maron as Pryce’s friend Mitts, Mariana Treviño as Santi’s mom Elena and Lilli Kay as bartender-turned-caddy Zero.

In the mold of Apple TV+ hit Ted Lasso, Stick, created by Jason Keller, is a feel-good sports comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf. Wilson stars as Pryce, an over-the-hill ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. In Season 1, after the collapse of his marriage and while working at an Indiana sporting goods store, Pryce hedges his bets, and future, entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi.

Owen Wilson is gonna play another 18. Or, more accurately, he’s gonna carry the bag for at least one more round.

Apple TV+ has renewed Wilson’s golf comedy Stick for a second season. Stick, created by Jason Keller, stars and is executive produced by Wilson. The series also stars Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño and Lilli Kay, all of whom are returning for a second season.

The renewal coincides with the Stick season one finale, which released on Wednesday.

Following its debut on Apple TV+ in June, Stick is fast approaching its freshman season finale. Three episodes remain with the next, "Clark the Mark," set to drop on the streaming platform on July 9.

Ahead of the episode's premiere, Cbr has an exclusive sneak peek clip to premiere. In the video, Owen Wilson's Pryce Cahill attempts to focus on his swing as he is chastised as a "loser" and a "degenerate" by Timothy Olyphant's Clark Ross, his rival and former playing partner. However, though Clark was getting very personal with his verbal jabs, Pryce clapped back with a burn of his own. The clip can be watched below.

Matthew McConaughey’s new Apple TV+ comedy, also starring Woody Harrelson, Brothers, has hit a major roadbump; production has come to a sudden halt. This occurred after eight episodes of the series had already been shot in Austin, Texas. The show is currently stalled due to the shocking exit of showrunner David West Read, who cited “creative differences.”

McConaughey and Harrelson are also the executive producers for the show, and this highlights the fact that even the most seemingly promising projects can fall apart mid-production. They are now in talks with Lee Eisenberg, veteran showrunner, to take up the task of shooting the two remaining episodes and any possible reshoots. Fans are understandably skeptical about the chemistry, storyline, and the momentum of the series going forward.

What is Matthew McConaughey’s ‘Brothers’ about, and why did the filming come to a screeching halt?

Brothers was looked at as a heartfelt...

The halfway point of 2025 is just around the corner, and so far, the big screen has been booming. From surprise smash hits like Ryan Coogler's horror actioner Sinners to smaller critic and audience favorites like Friendship, long-awaited sequels like 28 Years Later, or blockbusters like A Minecraft Movie and Thunderbolts*, this year has been delivering one buzzworthy film after another, with even more exciting projects on the way. Lost in the murky waters, however, is Woody Harrelson's small, tense survival thriller Last Breath, which came out in the shadow of Captain America: Brave New World and managed to earn solid reviews, but only grossed an underwhelming $23.2 million at the box office. Now, however, the saturation-diving flick is resurfacing on the streaming charts, ranking eighth on Prime Video, just behind the 2024 spider horror movie, Sting.

Alex Parkinson directed Last Breath and penned the screenplay with Mitchell Lafortune and David Brooks.

Matthew McConaughey will always be known for his iconic roles in films like Interstellar, Dallas Buyers Club, and Magic Mike, but one of the upcoming projects from the Oscar-winning actor is now facing a major setback. McConaughey is attached to star in a currently untitled brothers series for Apple TV+ that’s been in production, which will even reunite him with his former True Detective co-star Woody Harrelson. However, Deadline reports that the show has paused production and showrunner David West Read has left the project after filming eight of 10 episodes. Lee Eisenberg is in talks to replace Read, but it’s unclear when filming will resume, and all stars have been sent home for the time being. Eisenberg recently worked with Apple TV+ on Lessons in Chemistry (Brie Larson).

Not that he ever really went anywhere, but McConaughey is ramping up for a bit of a comeback. His last...

Filming a series or movie production always seems like nothing but fun on the outside looking in. While being a part of the cast and crew is a fun experience in itself, it is still a job, and problems arise just like it would at a regular place of work. Sometimes, productions are suspended indefinitely as a result of too many issues, while others take a brief break to get things back on track. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's Apple TV+ series is the latest project to halt filming while things get sorted out. It seems that the untitled show, which stars and is executive produced by the actors and Skydance Television, sent its cast home due to creative differences.

According to Deadline, sources told the publication that production in Austin, Texas, was paused late last week, and the cast, which includes Holland Taylor, Natalie Martinez and Brittany Ishibashi,...

A behind-the-scenes shake-up has halted production of the upcoming Apple TV+ comedy series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. On Friday, Deadline reported that filming was suspended late last week in Austin, Texas, and that the cast — which also includes Holland Taylor, Natalie Martinez, and Brittany Ishibashi — was sent home. With eight out of the 10 ordered episodes filmed, former showrunner David West Read has reportedly left the production over creative differences about the season’s ending. Now, Lee Eisenberg is in negotiations to assume showrunner duties for the last two episodes and the season’s “likely” reshoots, according to the outlet. The half-hour comedy series stars McConaughey and Harrelson as themselves as the actors and their families try to cohabitate on McConaughey’s Texas ranch. Apple TV+ announced the project more than two years ago, calling the show “a heartfelt odd couple love story revolving around the strange and beautiful...

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's Apple TV+ show Brothers has been hit with a major setback. Partly inspired by their real-life friendship, the comedy series features Harrelson and McConaughey playing fictional versions of themselves as their families begin living together at McConaughey's Texas ranch. Along with starring together in True Detective season 1, they have also worked together on the 1999 movie EDtv and the 2008 movie Surfer, Dude. For Brothers, Harrelson and McConaughey are joined by series regulars Oona Yaffe, Highdee Kuan, Nolan Almeida, Ella Grace Helton, and Noah Carganilla.

According to Deadline, Brothers'production has now been paused after showrunner David West Read exited the show. His departure is reportedly due to creative disagreements about how the season should end, as eight of the 10 episodes have already been filmed. Lee Eisenberg, who previously created the comedy series Jury Duty and Little America, is in discussions to become the new showrunner to...

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson‘s Apple TV+ comedy is in limbo.

The series paused production recently after showrunner David West Read left. Matthew, 55, and Woody, 63, reunited for the series after starring together in True Detective. The comedy is said to be inspired by the pair’s real-life friendship and follows as the two live together on a Texas ranch, pushing their friendship to its limits.

A source told Deadline that filming has been suspended following David‘s departure. The showrunner reportedly left the production due to creative disagreements on how to end the season with 8 of the 10 episodes having been filmed.

The publication is also reporting that the network is eyeing Lee Eisenberg to take over production for the final two episodes. Lee preciously worked on Apple TV+’s Lessons in Chemistry. No replacement has been confirmed officially and production has remained suspended.

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson’s Apple TV+ comedy series has paused production amid creative changes at the helm of the show.

Variety has confirmed that the series, currently titled “Brothers,” had finished filming eight of its 10 episodes in Texas before the shutdown. David West Read — who served as the series’ writer, showrunner, and executive producer — has departed due to creative differences. Lee Eisenberg is currently in talks to take over as showrunner for the final episodes as well as reshoots.

Eisenberg has previously worked with Apple on the anthology series “Little America” as well as the shows “Lessons in Chemistry” starring Brie Larson and “WeCrashed” starring Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway. His other credits include the hit Amazon series “Jury Duty” as well as “The Office.”

“Brothers” was originally announced in 2023 and is loosely inspired by the two stars’ actual friendship. The official logline states, “Matthew and Woody’s...

Apple TV+ and Skydance Television’s untitled brother comedy series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson has suspended filming.

An individual familiar with the matter confirmed to TheWrap that production in Austin, Texas was paused late last week. The decision involves the departure of showrunner David West Read, who exited over creative differences on how to end the season.

As of the suspension, eight of the series’ 10 ordered episodes have been shot. “Lessons in Chemistry” creator Lee Eisenberg is in talks to join as showrunner to replace Read and a return to production has not yet been set.

Representatives for Apple TV+ did not immediately return TheWrap’s request for comment, while producer Skydance Television declined to comment.

Changes are afoot behind the scenes of Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's untitled Apple TV+ series. Filming has been halted following the departure of David West Read as showrunner.

According to Deadline, eight of the 10 episodes had been shot before production in Austin, Texas was paused last week and the cast sent home. Lee Eisenberg is in negotiations to come on board as the new showrunner, which would entail overseeing the last two episodes and any reshoots. The showrunner change is reportedly due to differing views over how to end the season.

A return to production date is not expected to be set until the series' creative direction has been tweaked. The untitled series, at one point titled Brother from Another Mother and then simply Brothers, stars Harrelson and McConaughey as heightened versions of themselves in a heartfelt odd couple love story revolving around their strange and beautiful sibling-like bond.

Exclusive: Filming has been suspended on Apple TV+’s untitled brothers comedy series from Skydance Television starring and executive produced by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, Deadline has learned. According to sources, production in Austin, TX was paused late last week, with the cast, which includes fellow stars Holland Taylor, Natalie Martinez and Brittany Ishibashi, sent home.

The development, which involves the departure of showrunner David West Read, comes as eight of the series’ 10 ordered episodes have been shot. Veteran comedy showrunner Lee Eisenberg, who most recently created and executive produced Apple TV+’s acclaimed limited series Lessons In Chemistry, is in negotiations to come on board as showrunner for the last two episodes and likely reshoots, I hear.

The change is being made amid differing views over how to end the season, sources said. The makeup of the brothers comedy series is unusual — its stars...

After appearing in the massively popular legacy sequel "Top Gun: Maverick" in 2022 as Lt. Robert "Bob" Floyd and before he joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Robert Reynolds, also known as Sentry, in "Thunderbolts*," Lewis Pullman played Brie Larson's love interest. Yes, you read that right — Sentry and Captain Marvel were romantically involved in an Apple TV+ series titled "Lessons in Chemistry."

In the miniseries based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Bonnie Garmus, Pullman portrays Calvin Evans, a brilliant scientist working at the Hastings Research Institute in California. When Calvin meets lab technician Elizabeth Zott (Larson), he's blown away by her scientific genius, only to learn that she never got her PhD and can't rise in the ranks at the institute simply because she's a woman. Before long, the two are personally and professionally involved ... but early in the story, tragedy strikes. While Calvin is...

Apple TV+'s new series Stick, which follows an aging ex-pro golfer played by Owen Wilson, may be just what Ted Lassofans need while they await Season 4 of the series. Stick stars Wilson as Pryce Cahill, a popular former golfer who had his career end prematurely 20 years ago. Apple TV+ dropped the first trailer for Stick on its YouTube channel on May 8, and the series is set to debut on the streamer with its first three episodes on June 4.

In Stick, Wilson’s Pryce struggles with his marriage coming to an end and getting fired from his job at a sporting goods store in Indiana. Pryce then comes across Santi Wheeler, played by Peter Dager, a 17-year-old golf prodigy, whom he takes under his wing. Apple TV+ is billing Stick as a “heartfelt, feel-good sports comedy about a found family and their relationship set within the world of golf as...

Today, Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer for its new sports comedy, Stick, starring and executive produced by Owen Wilson and created by Jason Keller. The 10-episode series will make its global debut on Apple TV+ with the first three episodes on Wednesday, June 4, followed by one new episode every Wednesday through July 23, 2025.

In Stick, Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed prematurely 20 years ago. After the collapse of his marriage and getting fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, Pryce hedges his bets and future entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi (Peter Dager).

Stick is a heartfelt, feel-good sports comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before.

In addition to Owen Wilson and Peter Dager, the ensemble cast includes Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay,...

Marc Maron (The Bad Guys) spends a solid 30 seconds roasting Owen Wilson (Loki) at the top of the trailer for Stick, perfectly setting the tone for the upcoming Apple TV+ series. His latest project sees Wilson in a role that would make Don, Mobius’ jet-ski-enthusiast Loki variant, proud. Also executive producing the series, Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, an ex-pro golfer whose career came to a screeching halt two decades ago — but you’ll hear more about that from Maron’s character in the trailer. This is the first teaser to arrive for the sports comedy, giving audiences a taste of what’s to come when the title tees off with a three-episode premiere on Wednesday, June 4.

As mentioned, the first 30 seconds of the trailer see Maron’s character completely obliterating Wilson’s Pryce Cahill while the two sit at a full bar. Rehashing the very moment that Pryce’s...

Apple’s newly released Stick trailer has teed up the television world for another feel-good sports comedy starring Owen Wilson and Peter Dager.

The ten-episode comedy series, created by Jason Keller and executive produced by Keller and Wilson, swings onto Apple TV+ on Wednesday, June 4 with three episodes, followed by one new episode weekly every Wednesday, through July 23.

The clip introduces viewers to Wilson’s Pryce Cahill, an ex-pro golfer whose career went off course 20 years ago and whose personal life is in shambles as his wife (Greer) finalizes their divorce. After he loses his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, Pryce randomly discovers Santi (Dager), who has a killer golf swing. The 17-year-old phenom provides Pryce a shot to get his life back on track if he coaches him up to win some tournaments.

Along for the ride are Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay and more.

Owen Wilson is getting his second chance by way of Apple TV+. The actor is leading sports comedy series “Stick,” which he also executive produces. Wilson stars as Pryce Cahill, an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer whose career was derailed 20 years ago amid a scandal. Yet Pryce finds a career resurgence thanks to scouting (and coaching and caddying for) a 17-year-old golf phenom (Peter Dager). The duo might be an unlikely pair on the green, but will this save Pryce both personally and professionally?

The official synopsis reads: “After the collapse of his marriage and getting fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, Pryce hedges his bets, and future, entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi (Dager).” The series is billed as being a “heartfelt, feel-good sports comedy about a found family and their relationships set within the world of golf as it has never been shown before.

Twenty years ago, NBC premiered a new sitcom based on a hit U.K. series. The Office debuted on March 24, 2005, and was not an immediate hit in its initial six-episode run. The show struggled to find its footing out of the block, with several episodes virtually xeroxed from the storylines of its British predecessor created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and transplanted, often clunkily, to Scranton, Pa. But soon enough showrunner Greg Daniels found his groove and leaned into the strengths of his formidable ensemble, led by Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, and Rainn Wilson.

The Office would go on to become a must-see TV staple, running nine seasons and earning five Emmys in 42 nominations — and then becoming a hit all over again as a new generation rediscovered and binged The Office when it hit streaming. Until 2023, The Office held the record as most-streamed series, with more than 57 billion minutes watched.

Fans of Ghostbusters comedy legend Harold Ramis will be able to stream his last-ever movie next month. The filmmaker's final directorial effort before his death in 2014 was the prehistoric comedy Year One.

Even some of Ramis' biggest fans may have missed Year One since it under-performed in theaters in 2009, and was largely dismissed by critics. Hulu subscribers will get to decide for themselves about whether Year One was wrongfully ignored when it becomes available to stream on April 1, 2025.

Year One Comes to Hulu in April

Jack Black and Michael Cera starred in Ramis' spoof of the biblical Book of Exodus, as two primitives traveling to the sin-filled village of Sodom to save their love interests (June Diane Raphael and Juno Temple). The comedy boasted a hugely impressive cast, including a Superbad reunion for Cera with co-star Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Bill Hader, Olivia Wilde, Paul Rudd and David Cross all featured in Year One too.

Remember that comedy show that had everyone talking last year? You know, the one where James Marsden played himself while some poor, unsuspecting guy thought he was on a real jury? Well, guess what? Jury Duty is officially returning for Season 2, and here’s the kicker—it’s already been filmed!

Yep, you read that right. While we’ve all been wondering if we’d ever see a follow-up to Amazon’s breakout hit, the production team has been secretly working away, wrapping up an entirely new season.

A still from Jury Duty (2023) | Credits: Amazon Prime Video

Originally on Freevee, the Emmy-nominated series has moved to Prime Video following Amazon’s platform reshuffling last November. Talk about keeping things under wraps! This documentary-style comedy that captured our hearts with its unique premise is about to surprise us all over again, but this time, we’re trading courtroom drama for corporate shenanigans.

Owen Wilson is taking to the golf course for the upcoming sports comedy Stick, which has received a first-look ahead of its June 4 release on Apple TV+. The streaming service is teeing the series up for a debut that will see three episodes drop at once, followed by one new episode every Wednesday until the 10th and final episode releases on July 23.

The images (seen below) reveal Wilson's character, Pryce Cahill, "an over-the-hill, ex-pro golfer" whose career "derailed prematurely 20 years ago" (per Apple TV+). In the show, he returns to the green to mentor Santi, "a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom," played by Peter Dager. According to the show's official synopsis, Cahill's mentorship role comes at a turbulent time in his life as his marriage has broken down, and he also now finds himself unemployed after being fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store.

In addition to Wilson and Dager,...

Jury Duty will return for — and has already filmed — a second season at Amazon Prime Video, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Thursday.

Amazon declined to comment on the news. Season one of the show aired in 2023 on Amazon’s Freevee and endeared audiences with its candid camera comedy starring an unknowing Ronald Gladden. Actors — including James Marsden (playing himself) — improvised along as caricatures of fellow jurors, a judge and other courtroom personalities while Gladden went the whole stint believing the entire ruse was real.

Sources report Jury Duty‘s second season will leave the witness stand behind in favor of a corporate retreat setting. It was shot in the Agoura Hills suburb of Los Angeles.

Season one showrunner Cody Heller previously told THR she was “terrified” by the challenge of pulling off the candid camera feat. “There was something about that fear of failure that ignited something in myself,” she said.

“Jury Duty” will be back for Season 2 sooner than we think.

The Amazon Freevee comedy, which became a surprise hit for the platform and migrated over to Prime Video after the sibling streamer’s shuttering, already produced its next installment, according to media reports.

Amazon representatives declined to comment for the story.

The new season is believed to be set at a corporate retreat instead of a courtroom, according to a report from Variety. Filming took place in Los Angeles and Deadline reported the story will center around a David vs. Goliath theme.

“Jury Duty” was created by Lee Eisenberg, and Gene Stupnitsky. Season 1 followed breakout star Ronald Gladden in a documentary-style journey following his time as a juror, until it is revealed that the proceedings were fake from the start.

The series is executive produced by the pair alongside David Bernad, Ruben Fleischer (“Superstore”), Nicholas Hatton, Cody Heller (“Dummy”), Todd Schulman,...

“Jury Duty” has been summoned once again.

The comedy series, which debuted on Amazon’s now-defunct streamer Freevee as a surprise hit in 2023, will run for a second season on Amazon Prime Video, Variety has learned from sources. Amazon did not comment on the renewal.

Additionally, a source tells Variety that Season 2 will be set at a corporate retreat rather than a courtroom, and that it was shot in the Los Angeles suburb of Agoura Hills. Amazon did not comment on this information.

Season 1 of the documentary-style project followed Ronald Gladden’s journey as a juror during a trial that gets increasingly more dysfunctional until it’s finally revealed that the entire case is fake and everyone besides him is a paid actor.

When asked by Variety about potential future seasons, “Jury Duty” showrunner Cody Heller said, “Obviously, it would have to be a whole different universe. You couldn’t just do jury duty again,...

One of the comedy breakouts of 2023 was Jury Duty, a documentary-style comedy for Amazon Freevee that featured James Marsden and other actors surrounding an unsuspecting juror at a trial. The Emmy-nominated comedy is back and — surprise — its second season is already in the can, sources tell Deadline. It will run on Prime Video where Freevee’s content migrated after Amazon’s free ad-supported streaming platform was shut down last November.

Details are being kept under wraps but we hear that the theme of the new installment is David vs. Goliath. Taking inspiration from classic 1980s movies such as Animal House and Caddyshack, it is about a small business going on a company retreat, with the real, unsuspecting person tested when a Goliath suddenly shows up, sources said.

To protect the integrity of the premise with the regular person not realizing that they are part of a scripted TV show, just...

It's been a while since we've seen Owen Wilson in a television series. Was Loki on Disney+ his last live-action role in a TV show? We believe so. More recently, he lent his voice to the podcast series Tom Slick: Mystery Hunter and the animated show Lego Pixar: BrickToons. But now, he’s set to make his return to television in a brand-new golf comedy series for Apple TV+. It’s called Stick, and we shared all there is to know about it right below.

In March 2024, it was revealed that Wilson had joined an upcoming comedy series for Apple TV+ as both the star and executive producer. That series was later given the title Stick. Jason Keller, who is best known for co-writing the script for Ford v Ferrari, created the sports comedy and also serves as showrunner and executive producer.

Would you believe it if we told you that The Office’s most legendary episode where Dwight Schrute set the workplace on fire—quite literally—was initially meant to be about Jim and Pam? Yes, instead of Stanley’s heart attack, CPR dummies, and Dwight doing his best Hannibal Lecter impression, we almost got a storyline straight out of a bizarre French film.

According to the oral history of The Office’s insane fire drill episode, Greg Daniels was inches close to turning the Super Bowl episode about Jim Halpert who lost his beloved wife Pam Beesly in a poker game. But thankfully, after the writers scrapped that idea and Daniels came to his senses, the creators gave us the pure chaos of Stress Relief.

Fans might know him as Cyclops and the Donut Lord — they may have even heard about him recently playing the President of the United States — but one man didn’t know he was part of the cast of the prank show Jury Duty.

The Freevee show was a work of genius, an entire show designed around a fake trial case with only a single person unaware of the production. The series was an immediate hit, and whilst the praise it received was certainly earned, star James Marsden wasn’t sure if he’d be able to go through with the trickery of the operation.

Lessons in Chemistry is a drama miniseries developed for television by Lee Eisenberg. Based on a novel of the same name by Bonnie Garmus, the Apple TV+ series is set in 1960s America, and it revolves around Elizabeth Zott, who has always dreamed of being a scientist, but because of the patriarchal society, she is denied her dream.

The Office is arguably one of the best sitcoms of the century and had many fantastic episodes over its nine-year run on NBC. Developed for American television by Greg Daniels and starring Steve Carell as the eccentric Michael Scott, the show became NBC’s top scripted series.

And while The Office gave fans some of the most memorable moments in comedy series’ history, the season 4 episode, Dinner Party, may still be seen as the darkest. Not only did the episode prove a challenge to shoot, Steve Carell also had to stand his ground during the WGA strike, which the creators did not want to honor.

The Office is arguably one of the best sitcoms of the century and had many fantastic episodes over its nine-year run on NBC. The iconic series was developed for American television by Greg Daniels and starred Steve Carell as Michael Scott. While the show was popular in its time, being the number one scripted show on NBC, it reached new heights of popularity when it streamed on Netflix.

The season four episode, "Dinner Party" is considered one of the best episodes of The Office, but behind the scenes, there were some concerns from the network that almost meant the episode wouldn't get made at all. To make matters more complicated, right before they were set to film the episode, the Writers Guild went on strike. The episode wouldn't be what it is if it weren't for two of the show's heavy hitters going to bat for it.

While the US version of the mockumentary sitcom The Office had several great episodes, Dinner Party has to be the unanimously hailed episode from Steve Carell’s beloved show. And why won’t it be? The season 4 episode, despite having a simple concept of Michael and Jan inviting friends over for a dinner party, featured a great deal of chaos and uncomfortable shooting.

Therefore, recalling the behind-the-scenes efforts that went into shooting The Office’s Dinner Party episode, director Paul Feig alongside executive producer/co-creator Greg Daniels revealed how they used a Survivor trick to film the scenes. Considering how the actors and crew were crammed inside a small condo, Feig and Daniels reflected on the filming journey.

Is Jan evil? That’s a question fans often debate, and while there’s no clear answer, one thing is for sure- she’s downright terrifying. Melora Hardin’s portrayal of Jan was so powerful, it even made her The Office co-stars be scared of her in real life. Her performance is nothing short of brilliant and deserves to be studied.

But Jan’s standout moment comes in the iconic Dinner Party episode, where her chaos truly took center stage. Interestingly, one decision by the writers could have pushed things way too far, but thankfully, they pulled back at the last minute!

‘Dinner Party’ was, is, and will be one of the most hilarious episodes to have come out of the television industry. The legendary TV moment was so awkward, that it deserves its own spot in the cringe Hall of Fame. That doesn’t mean we don’t love it, though! Steve Carell’s Michael Scott has always had our hearts but there was something about this episode in season 4 that will always stand out from the rest.

From showing off his unreasonably hilarious TV to talking about his “snip snap, snip snap, snip snap,” everything was simply perfection. Clearly, Michael was not the best version of himself in the episode as his relationship with Jan unraveled. As it turns out, the writers wanted to accomplish exactly this. They wanted to show Michael at a low point, making him look “pathetic” along the way.

The iconic comedy series The Office follows the staff of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Over nine years, they create lasting friendships, find love, and experience plenty of hilarious moments. The show had many beloved characters, like Dwight Schrute and Jim Halpert, but besides the main leads, there were amazing side characters like Ryan Howard, Toby Flenderson and Kelly Kapoor.

The bullpen at Dunder Mifflin features many infamous areas, like the reception desk, Michael's office, the Jim and Dwight desk clump, and the accounting section. In most episodes of The Office, Ryan, Toby, and Kelly work out of the annexa back section of the office on the other side of the break room. Keeping them in the annex was a deliberate choice by series creator Greg Daniels, and he had a very good reason for it.
