Dark, but accurate.

It hasn't been that long since fans said goodbye to The Office, but it's been long enough to make us wonder where the characters are now (and not-so-secretly hope for a revival). In a new interview with Variety, Office alum Mindy Kaling discussed where she thinks Kelly Kapoor would be now and how she feels about an Office

“There’s not an insignificant part of me that thinks that Kelly might be in jail; a crime of passion,” Kaling said in a video. “The character just kept getting a little bit more and more unhinged. I don’t want to say that she murdered Ryan but like I’m also not convinced that he’s still alive in the world of The Office.”

“Would I be open to an Office reboot?" Kaling asked herself. "I think that anything that Greg [Daniels, executive producer] decided to do, I would watch and love and want to help him with.”

Sounds like a yes to us.
