Two major The Office stars enjoy mini reunion… see what they look like 20 years after debut of iconic sitcom

Two leading stars from the beloved NBC sitcom The Office enjoyed a mini reunion this week – over 20 years after the show first aired in 2003.

Rainn Wilson, 59, and Jenna Fischer, 51 – who played Dwight and Pam respectively on the series – sent fans into a frenzy as they posed for a few memorable Instagram snaps on Tuesday which were uploaded to the actor’s main account.

The duo flashed cheerful smiles for a selfie as they stepped outside to grab lunch and later took another picture while sitting inside a vehicle.

Fischer kept it casual wearing a short-sleeved white shirt as well as a button up that was layered on top.

The actress’s locks were parted to the side and fell down to brush her shoulders in light curls.

Jenna opted for minimal accessories and added a dainty gold-chained necklace as well as mini silver hoops.

In the caption of the latest post, Wilson – who sported a black shirt and gray button up – penned to his followers: ‘Had lunch with one of my favorite people on the planet.

‘@MsJennaFischer. Then we recorded audio in the back for her car for those gosh darn Office Ladies! (in case you were wondering she had breakfast for lunch. I had a salad because I’m too chubby.)’

Rainn added, ‘This amazing, gorgeous woman I first met at our office audition call back in late 2003! Can you believe it!? Dwight and Pam forever! #Dwam.’ 

Social media users as well as former cast members flocked to the comment section to offer their excitement over the reunion. 

Fischer added a message of her own about spending time with Wilson and wrote, ‘This made my heart so happy!!’ 

Kate Flannery who also starred in the sitcom added red heart emojis while another former co-star Angela Kinsey typed, ‘This makes my heart happy! Love you guys!’ 

A fan shared, ‘My favorite dynamic duo on screen,’ and another penned, ‘Are you guys forming an alliance?’ 

One added, ‘Possibly my favorite relationship in the whole show,’ and another said, ‘Jim would be FURIOUS!!! I love you guys,’ referencing to John Krasinski’s character. 

‘This made me smile!!! So nice to see you two together again!!!’ an Instagram user said, and one wrote, ‘Wow 2003 that’s insane! What a great show.’

The Office began airing on NBC in 2003 and also starred Steve Carell, BJ Novak, Mindy Kaling, Melora Hardin, Leslie David Baker, Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery, Oscar Nunez and Ed Helms. 

The Emmy-winning show had a total of nine seasons – with the final episode airing in 2013. 

A spin-off to the show called The Paper is set to premiere on September 4 on Peacock with an initial four episodes and takes place in The Office universe, per NBC. 

The new cast includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key and Oscar Nunez – who notably appeared in the original show. 

The President of NBCUniversal Entertainment Lisa Katz previously said in a statement, per People, ‘It’s been more than ten years since the final episode of aired on NBC.

‘And the acclaimed comedy series continues to gain popularity and build new generations of fans on Peacock.’

Katz added, ‘This new series set in the universe of Dunder Mifflin introduces a new cast of characters in a fresh setting ripe for comedic storytelling: a daily newspaper.’

Fischer – who previously battled breast cancer – has talked about how The Office cast still remains in touch years after the show’s conclusion. 

During an interview with People last year, she explained that they are all in a special group chat. 

‘We have a text thread. It’s called Office Peeps, and we all text on it, send pictures and updates and all the things you have on a text thread,’ Jenna revealed. 

‘We just have our text thread. But then, we all run into each other and get together on the side. But we have our text thread, it’s going strong.’ 

Angela Kinsey also gave an update about the group chat while talking to People earlier this month. 

She said, ‘Interestingly enough, I feel like Rainn [Wilson] checks in the most, which is very sweet, and I don’t think anyone’s annoying, but the most random will be Creed [Bratton], and I think that’s very on brand. 

‘One time, he made a little Christmas song with a Santa hat that flopped around. You never know what you’re going to get.’ 

Both Fischer and Kinsey have also reunited for their podcast called Office Ladies – which officially launched back in 2019. 

And last year in April, Fischer also reunited with Rainn Wilson, Craig Robinson, Creed Bratton, Kate Flannery and Brian Baumgartner for an AT&T campaign. 

‘It was so much fun and totally seamless. We locked into our chemistry together immediately. It was so thrilling. It was over too fast. I wish it had gone longer,’ the actress told People at the time. 

‘I think [Ed Helm’s’ character] Andy had a line where he says, “If only you knew you were in the good old days when you were in them.” I’m paraphrasing, but it’s that idea.’

She continued, ‘And, listen, we knew we had a great thing when we were filming. But this was that chance to go back and re-experience that magic for just a moment, and that is such a gift to be able to do that.’

Earlier this month, former castmate Craig Robinson – who played the character of Darryl Philbin in the hit series – made the shock announcement that he is stepping away from comedy.
