Was there supposed to be a spin-off of The Office?
“The Farm” was produced to serve as a backdoor pilot for a proposed spin-off series starring Wilson as Dwight, which NBC ultimately did not pick up.
The episode received mostly negative reviews from television critics, with many criticizing Dwight’s farm storyline and some critics calling it a “Frankenstein episode”.
