NBC’s Peacock streaming service offered a New Year’s Day surprise for fans of The office: a never-before-seen cold opening, marking the move from Netflix to its new streaming home.
The cold five-minute, un-aired opening was interrupted at the end of the 2013 series. The opening is a plan designed to convince Dwight that he is living The Matrix. Jim, Pam, a trained black cat and security guard Hank are participating in the maneuver.
The office is now being broadcast on Peacock, with the first two seasons available for free and seasons 3-9 available to Premium subscribers.
Watch the cold open below.
