No. 2, they cast Amy Poehler [as the lead]. And No. 3, it's not going to be a spin-off per se." In fact, all that is known about the Poehler vehicle at this early stage is that it is being developed by Office scribes Michael Schur and Greg Daniels. Period.As to what Dwight will be up to, Wilson shrugged, "I have no idea," having yet to spy a single Season 5 script. That said, he told TVGuide.com that the notion of Angela bearing Dwight a Schrute yout' — as was speculated when scene partner Angela Kinsey became pregnant in real life — "would be brilliant... awesome.
