The Office's richest stars in 2025, ranked: big names Steve Carell and Mindy Kaling each have a sizeable net worth, but you may be surprised by John Krasinski
On May 16, 2013, the final episode of hit show The Office aired, and the Dunder Mifflin team left our screens for good.
Happily, Greg Daniels, the creator of The Office, has developed a new sit-com in a similar vein. Per NBC, the as-yet-untitled series will showcase operations from inside a 'dying historic Midwestern newspaper' with the 'publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters'.

Smoke's Taron Egerton, Jurnee Smollett and Dennis Lehane on the new Apple TV+ series
American author and screenwriter Dennis Lehane has a healthy respect for the power of fire. He learned that from surviving a house fire in Boston, Massachusetts, in his thirties. Advertisement Lehane was living on the top floor of a block of flats when a propane tank on the roof exploded and started a blaze. The landlord was replacing the building's smoke detectors at the time, so they were not working. Lehane is lucky to be alive and he credits, in part, the flames. 'If you're trapped in fire – if you wake up and the building you're in is on fire – it's up to the fire at that point. It's really up to the whims of the fire, whatever's going to happen to you. And I find that lack of control fascinating.' Lehane, whose literary canon includes the novels-turned-film-hits Gone, Baby, Gone and Mystic River, has turned to fire for his latest project – Apple TV+'s new nine-episode crime drama Smoke. It is based on the true story of a former arson investigator who was convicted in 1998 of serial arson. He was captured in part after he wrote a novel about a firefighter who was a serial arsonist. The case – chronicled in the 2021 podcast Firebug – sparked something in Lehane.

Meet in-demand celebrity stylist Dara Allen: the trans fashionista is behind Addison Rae's and Hunter Schafer's edgy red carpet looks – but she still dreams of dressing Britney Spears
Addison Rae 's transformation is complete. The 24-year-old, who initially rose to fame on TikTok, has metamorphosed into a bona fide pop superstar – and her personal style has come along for the ride thanks to one celebrity stylist in particular: Dara Allen. The cover of Rae's debut album, Addison, sees her sporting a tight, tie-dye yellow-orange dress, which was personally designed by Allen.

When Rae appeared at last year's MTV Video Music Awards, Allen styled her in a misshapen white satin bra and pants and paired them with a voluminous tulle bustle – a look that caused a huge stir online. Allen told Harper's Bazaar that her inspiration for the outfit was a combination of Rae's favourite pieces from her 'Diet Pepsi' music video, and the trailblazing looks debuted at previous VMAs by the likes of Madonna (see the Material Girl's bridal look at the 1984 awards). Most importantly, Allen says, it was Rae's personality that held it all together: 'If you're that comfortable in your body, why cover it up with clothes?' Addison Rae wears a white panties and bra set with feather details, paired with a white tulle bustle and white peep-toe shoes, as designed by Dara Allen.
