Are you someone who has binge-watched The Office multiple times? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. I count myself as one of the many Office fans who has gone through the series on numerous occasions. To be fair, it never gets old, and the acting is top notch.
However, it appears there’s an episode we’ve missed in our numerous watchthroughs. In fairness, the episode in question was never filmed, so we have no way of seeing it. However, one Office cast member still has a copy of the script. During a spotlight panel at Fan Expo Philadelphia, Rainn Wilson spoke about the lost Office episode.
“I have a script in my desk for a missing Office episode that we never shot. It was written during season 1, and the episode was scrapped, and it was called ‘Pet Day,’ and everyone in the office brought in a pet, and Dwight brought in a wolf. And we should 100% have shot some version of ‘Pet Day.’”
This was a surprise to Rain’s castmates, who viewed the script as somewhat of a Holy Grail.
“Wait, how did you get that script,” Oscar Nunez asked. “I remember the script. I remember that one, and I thought it would’ve been funny too,” Creed Bratton recalled.
While this episode may not be streaming anywhere, I hope Rainn brings the script with him to a future convention appearance. Maybe we can get a live reading.
