Domhnall Gleeson (pictured below, right) and Sabrina Impacciatore (pictured below, left), will be part of an ensemble, sources close to the production say. Details about their roles are not yet known.
The Office studio Universal Television declined to comment other than to confirm that the project remains in development.
As revealed in January, Daniels has opened a development space to explore ideas for a follow-up series to the Emmy-winning The Office. The new series, which is not a reboot, is reportedly set in a new office with new characters, but lives within the same world as the Steve Carell-led mockumentary series that follows employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.
Daniels has indicated that a new version of The Office could follow a crew making a documentary about a different subject.
Last month we confirmed that Koman's role, should the series continue, would be as co-creator alongside Daniels.
Impacciatore is known for her role as hotel manager Valentina in the second season of HBO's The White Lotus, for which she received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress In a Drama Series and shared in the cast's SAG Award winning for Best Drama Series Ensemble. Soon to be seen in a guest role in the upcoming second season of the Italian-language adaptation of the French hit series Dix pour cent for Sky.
Gleeson has recently worked closely with two of the actors from the original NBC series, which may be a precursor to his involvement in The Office. He starred opposite Steve Carell in the FX limited series The Patient, for which he received a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award nomination.
Gleeson currently stars in the limited series Alice & Jack opposite Andrea Riseborough, which he also produced, for Channel 4/PBS Masterpiece. He also recently co-starred in David Mandel's HBO limited series The White House Plumbers, playing John Dean opposite Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux.
