The news comes only a few weeks after we learned The Office was leaving Netflix for good, so we’re all very fragile right now.
The streaming giant announced that the show will be leaving the platform in the near future, sparking a massive outcry on social media.
According to the announcement, NBC is looking to bring the show back home for their own streaming service.
“We’re sad that NBC has decided to take The Office back for its own streaming platform — but members can binge watch the show to their hearts’ content ad-free on Netflix until January 2021,” the tweet reads.
