New office. New Aussie boss.
The hotly-anticipated Australian Original comedy series is the thirteenth version of the global hit juggernaut franchise The Office and has the first-ever female lead in the iconic role, comedian and actor Felicity Ward.
In the eight part series, Hannah Howard (Ward) is the managing director of packaging company Flinley Craddick. When she gets news from Head Office that they will be shutting down her branch and making everyone work from home, she goes into survival mode, making promises she can’t keep in order to keep her “work family” together. The staff of Flinley Craddick indulge her and must endure Hannah’s outlandish plots as they work toward the impossible targets that have been set for them.
As the series premieres on Prime Video globally (exc. US) on October 18th, 2024 Australia, Felicity sat down with Peter Gray to talk about the secret sauce to her character, what she learnt about office culture, and overcoming the stigma of mental health.
All eight episodes of The Office are now streaming on Prime Video.
