If you’re nostalgic for the whole days of your life you spent watching Dunder Mifflin’s misadventures in Scranton, then this might come as good news.

The US Office star John Krasinski and co-producer and The Office actor Stephen Merchant are joining forces once more for a new animated comedy called Dream Corp, LLC.

The show has been ordered by Adult Swim and is set inside a neglected dream therapy facility, featuring ‘a rotating cast of desperate patients who have their dreams recorded and analysed by Dream Corp's absent-minded professor, Dr Roberts (Jon Gries), and his team of unremarkable scientists.’

It will be Adult Swim’s first original series made using rotoscope techniques (think A Scanner Darkly) which sees the animators trace over live-action footage.

Krasinski and Merchant will co-executive produce the show alongside Daniel Steven.

Merchant recently scored a guest-starring role in The Big Bang Theory, while Krasinski has gone all beardy and though for Michael Bay’s Benghazi movie 13 Hours.
