British “boss from hell” David Brent, who’s returning for the season finale of NBC’s “The Office,” will be gunning for Michael Scott’s job at Dunder Mifflin.
Brent, who was created and played by Ricky Gervais in the BBC’s “The Office” — the predecessor to NBC’s Americanized version — will “be vying for the manager’s job” vacated by Scott, played by Steve Carell, according to an NBC spokesman.
“But, in typical David Brent style, he won’t make it easy for them to hire him,” the spokesman said, according to the Daily Mail.
Gervais and Will Arnett are joining Will Ferrell on the roster of A-listers who’ll appear on “The Office” in the next few months.
Gervais is slated for the show’s season finale, airing May 19, well after Carell’s departure.
