The office He's back! Well, a version of himself.

Amazon Prime Video has released the first trailer for the Australian adaptation of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's classic comedy series The officeand finally we get a closer look at the Australian variants of Brent, Tim, Dawn, Gareth and more.

With NBC's follow-up to the US adaptation of The office still in development, in the meantime fans of the franchise around the world will be able to settle for an Australian attempt at mockumentary-style comedy.

There's just one (big) problem, though: The office Australia will be available on Prime Video in 240 countries and territories worldwide from October 18, except for the United States. However, it's nothing a VPN can't fix, if you're serious about it.

In the clip released Wednesday, we see Hannah Howard (Felicity Ward), CEO of Sydney-based packaging company Flinley Craddick, trying, unsuccessfully, to win over her employees with her natural charisma, “girlboss” vibes and visionary leadership.
