CBS All Access lands Remote workplace comedy from The Office vets

Deadline

Former The Office executive producers Ben Silverman and Paul Lieberstein's Remote was one of the first pandemic-themed projects when it was revealed on April 2. Created by Lieberstein, Remote is "set around a wunderkind boss who, in an effort to ensure his staff’s connectedness and productivity, asks them all to virtually interact and work face-to-face all day," per Deadline. “So many of us are jumping on daily Zoom meetings — for work and beyond,” Silverman told Deadline in April. “We are in a new normal and are personally navigating ways to remain connected and productive at work and in our home lives. With the brilliant Paul Lieberstein at the helm, we think we have a series that not only brings humor and comfort during this troubling time but will also be an inventive and enduring workplace comedy for years to come.”
