3 months ago | 28 Views
Hannah Howard is the new term for incompetence, and the official trailer for The Office, which was released today on Prime Video, introduces viewers to the new female boss—charismatic, naive, and completely unself-aware. After 23 years of The Office being on air, comedian-actor Felicity Ward has become the first woman to play the renowned lead character. Mark October 18 on your calendars or, better yet, take a sick day and binge-watch all eight episodes of The Office that will be available on Prime Video. Prime Video users in countries other than the United States will be able to watch the Australian Amazon Original comedy series.
The 13th international version of The Office set in Australia
The Office, the 13th installment of the worldwide smash hit series, will soon be airing in Australia. The show will chronicle the lives of the people who work at Flinley Craddick, a packaging company in Sydney. The series stars Felicity Ward as Hannah Howard, managing director, Flinley Craddick, Sydney; Edith Poor as Lizze Moyle, receptionist, front desk executive and productivity manager; Steen Raskopoulos as Nick Fletcher, sales representative; Shari Sebbens as Greta King, sales representative; Josh Thomson as Martin Katavake, head of human resources; Jonny Brugh as Lloyd Kneath, head of IT; Susan Ling Young as Tina Kwong, sales representative; Raj Labade as Sebastian Roy, intern; Lucy Schmidt as Deborah Leonard, head of finance; Zoe Terakes as Stevie Jones, head of the warehouse; Pallavi Sharda as Alisha Khanna, regional director, Flinley Craddick Australia; Claude Jabbour as Mason, Greta’s boyfriend and Jason Perini as Johnny, warehouse staff. Carlo Ritchie, Susie Youssef, Justin Rosniiak, Rick Donald, and Chris Bunton are among the guest stars.
Hannah goes into survival mode after hearing from headquarters that her branch will close and that everyone will be required to work from home. She makes promises she knows she won't be able to keep, but she does everything in her power to keep her "work family" together. As they strive to achieve the seemingly unattainable goals set for them, Flinley Craddick's employees put up with Hannah's wild schemes and indulge her.
Felicity Ward on her excitement to play Hannah Howard
Felicity Ward exclaimed that she has never been more thrilled to portray a hopeless romantic entangled in her character's own narcissism. Hannah Howard is just as wicked of a boss as anyone could hope for.
More than 20 years ago, Steven Merchant and Ricky Gervais introduced the public to their delightfully grim mockumentary universe, The Office. There have been many changes since then, particularly after 2020, but the office setting remains a classic for comedies. As long as the characters are genuine, well-known, dealing with problems that everyone can relate to, and, above all else, entertaining and funny, the office will never get old for viewers. Countries all over the globe, including South Africa, Israel, France, Canada, Chile, Poland, the Middle East, and Poland, have adapted the cult comedy that won BAFTAs and Golden Globes due to its enduring popularity.
