It's official! James Spader is set for full-time 'Office' duty
"The Office" has hired James Spader, NBC announced Wednesday.
The former "Boston Legal" star will resume his role as the eccentric executive Robert California, who appeared in the season finale in May. He will play the CEO of Sabre, parent company to Dunder-Mufflin.
While Spader will be considered a series regular, it has not yet been determined how many episodes he will appear in the coming season.
The series still has yet to determine whether the role of Steve Carell will be replaced.
"James will reprise his role as Robert California, this uber-salesman that has a power to convince and manipulate, like a high-class weirdo Jedi warrior," said Paul Lieberstein, one of the series' executive producers. "He'll have been hired over the summer as the new manager, but within hours, got himself promoted."
