With THE OFFICE now streaming on Peacock, one of the greatest assets of its new home are the extended “Superfan Episodes.” (The first four released are season 3’s “Beach Games,” “Phyliis’ Wedding,” “Benihana Christmas,” and “Grief Counseling”; more episodes will be coming later in the year.)

“I always loved the way every episode came out, but we always overshot—we shot 40 pages and maybe 23 or 24 made it in,” THE OFFICE star Kate Flannery shared in the video below. “A lot of Meredith stuff got cut, so I’m selfishly happy to kind of relive those moments, because I kind of forgot about some of them.”

While there were supersized episodes during the initial run and a gaggle of deleted scenes on the DVD releases, these scenes are new…and some are so unfinished that Flannery has had to do additional post-production work on them before they can be released on Peacock.

“Dave Rogers, our original editor, called me up, and it was just like back in the saddle again,” Flannery said of doing ADR for a stunt. “It was so crazy to think that all these years later we can just get right back in there, and the machine still works.”

“Meredith is like a comfortable jacket to put on…the most comfortable part I will ever have in my life,” she continued. “It was really the dream gig for a million reasons. And if I didn’t speak for weeks, I had the best seat in the house. It was the greatest job.”
