If the price to join The Farm is drowning, their followers should really reconsider their life choices.
Alice nearly became Riverdale's next victim on Riverdale Season 3 Episode 13. Her brush with death came at the hands of her eldest daughter, but it's The Farm that has mass-produced this dangerous line of thinking. The path to "ascension" is a big cost.
Alice should count her lucky stars that Betty saved the day. She's the only one thinking clearly.
Betty is so underappreciated for the amount of work she puts in to help her family.
Between Alice, Polly, Hal, and even Chic, Betty had been their guardian angel who saved the day on countless occasions. And yet, they turned on her and scoffed her concerns every chance they got.
If a "baptism" required a waiver excusing death, the right course of action would be to feel concerned. It would be heartless for someone to not care.

A new cannibal farm is releasing later the year. Titled The Farm, this film was developed by director Hans Stjernswärd. The film's first trailer has been released and it shows a couple trapped, then imprisoned in cages. It looks like some of the diner meat might be of the human kind. The Farm stars: Nora Yessayan, Alec Gaylord, Ken Volok, Rob Tisdale and Kelly Mis. This title had its World Premiere at the Overlook Film Festival, earlier this year. And, the film's full trailer is hosted below. As well, a new concept poster was released for The Farm. It shows one character bound and tied to a chain. The body parts are labelled and the figure is headless. The Farm promises to be one of the most brutal films of the year. More release details will come this way soon. However, The Farm. has not secured a release date, in North America.

“The Office” may soon be back open for business. Insiders confirm a report, first revealed by TV Line, that NBC is developing an updated version of the hit comedy, which originally ran for nine seasons (from 2005 to 2013).
Greg Daniels, who developed the U.S. “The Office” based on the U.K. series from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, is behind the potential revival. (Coincidentally, Daniels was also kicking the tires on potentially bringing back another one of his old shows, “King of the Hill”).

"The Office" almost had a spinoff that sounds very similar to one of TV's top shows: "Modern Family."
In a TV Guide story, producers revealed there were talks to spinoff Ed Helms' Andy Bernard in a take on PBS's "An American Family."
"We were going to do a mockumentary version of the Loud family, with Helms' Andy as the dad and Catherine Tate [who later joined 'The Office' as Nellie Bertram] as the mom, living in a cul-de-sac somewhere in America. But in the intervening year, 'Modern Family' came out," Greg Daniels said. "And they did it."
Other "Office" spinoff ideas included a Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) family show, Craig Robinson getting his own show as Darryl and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) on his beet farm. "The problem was you didn't want to do anything that hurt the mother ship," former executive producer Michael Schur told TV Guide.

Rainn Wilson is moving on from "The Office" to CBS in "Backstrom."
According to EW, Wilson, who played Dwight Schrute on NBC's "The Office" for nine seasons, will star in the drama pilot about a self-destructive cop who tries and fails to change his behavior. "Backstrom" hails from "Bones" veteran Hart Hanson and also stars Dennis Haysbert and Kristoffer Polaha.
"Backstorm" is based on a Swedish book series from Leif G.W. Persson. Persson will serve as executive producer on the series, along with his agent Niclas Salomonsson and Hanson..
Wilson was originally attached to star in a possible "Office" spinoff titled "The Farm," but NBC passed on the project and a portion of it aired as an episode of "The Office."

Rainn Wilson is leaving both The Office and the world of comedy behind.
The actor has been cast as the title character on Backstrom, a CBS pilot that focuses on an overweight and offensive detective who is attempting to change his self-destructive behavior.
The series - based on a Swedish book series by Leif G.W. Persson and produced for TV by Hart Hanson (Bones) will also star Dennis Haysbert, Kristoffer Polaha and Page Kennedy.
The news comes just a couple days after The Office filmed its final scene, and also the week after that NBC sitcom aired what was meant to be a backdoor pilot for a Dwight Schrute spinoff titled The Farm.
But it was not meant to be - and NBC's loss will now be CBS' gain.

After a lengthy search, The Office‘s Rainn Wilson has been tapped for the title role in the CBS/20th TV drama pilot Backstrom. Also cast in the project, based on the Swedish book series, is Page Kennedy. Written by Bones creator Hart Hanson, Backstrom centers on Everett Backstrom (Wilson), an overweight, offensive, irascible detective as he tries, and fails, to change his self-destructive behavior. In addition to starring, Wilson will serve as a producer. He segues to Backstrom straight from The Office, which wrapped production on its ninth and final episode yesterday. Wilson, repped by Wme and 3 Arts, played one of the Emmy-winning comedy series’ signature characters, Dwight Schrute, since the pilot. He also co-created and toplined a potential Dwight-centered Office spinoff, The Farm. After it didn’t go forward, Wilson became a hot commodity for pilots, fielding multiple offers. He turned all down, including walking away from a...

CBS has definitely won the sweepstakes for best pilot casting this year.
The network — which has already lured actors like Robin Williams, Anna Faris, Jason Isaacs, Toni Collette and Josh Holloway — has cast Rainn Wilson in the leading role of Backstrom, a drama pilot that’s based on a Swedish detective series of same name about an overweight, offensive irascible cop as he tries and fails to change his self-destructive behavior. Wilson will play Det. Backstrom. Other cast members in the drama pilot from Hart Hanson, Leif G.W. Persson and Niclas Salomonsson include Dennis Haysbert as Det. John Almon and Kristoffer Polaha as Sgt.

We already know that "The Farm," a spinoff of "The Office" that would have centered on Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and his heretofore unknown siblings, isn't happening.
NBC and the show still decided to air a modified version of the spinoff pilot, though, devoting about half of Thursday's (March 14) "Office" to meeting Dwight's brother Jeb (Thomas Middleditch) and sister Frannie (Majandra Delfino) back to the beet farm for their aunt's funeral. Having seen the pared-down version, it looks like NBC made the right decision.
The biggest hurdle for the spinoff was always its central character. In the context of "The Office," Dwight is a great character, but nine seasons of his oddball (at best) and antisocial (at worst) behavior make it really hard to envision a show built around him. It's not that shows can't be built around people who aren't always likable -- heck, it was the guiding principle of "The Office" under Michael Scott.

Successfully spinning off a beloved TV show is trickier than it seems. For every Frasier or The Jeffersons, there’s an AfterMASH, The Ropers, or — perhaps most infamously of all — Joey.
It makes sense, then, for networks to hedge their bets by airing episodes of existing shows that serve as “backdoor pilots” for potential spinoffs. The Cosby Show did it when the Huxtable clan went to see Denise at Hillman College, setting up A Different World; Grey’s Anatomy did it when Addison took a trip to California, visiting the Private Practice she’d eventually join.

"The Farm" worked as a back door pilot for a new comedy starring Rainn Wilson of the same name. A while back we learned that this sitcom exploring the lives of the Schrute family was in fact not picked up for series by NBC.
I'm torn on how to feel about that fact. On one side of the equation, it will be nice to have everything and everyone related to The Office end when the show does this spring. However, Wilson is so good as Dwight that The Farm was certain to be as funny or better than a majority of what's currently on television.
Throughout the last nine seasons, viewers of The Office have been handed snippets of what Dwight's farm life looks like, and it has usually been hilarious. Seeing him in that element 24/7 might expand that hilarity, but it could have also gotten old quickly. Maybe what...

It's no secret that Dwight (Rainn Wilson) is not the most likeable character on The Office. A prime example is the opening moments of Thursday's episode, in which Dunder Mifflin's top salesman threw dirt in the faces of his co-workers — literally — after finding out his beloved aunt died. But that harsh truth didn't stop longtime Office writer and executive producer Paul Lieberstein from crafting a backdoor pilot for a Schrute-centered spin-off titled The Farm, which aired Thursday. Although news broke way back in October that The Farm would not be coming to an NBC schedule near you anytime soon, we present to you three reasons we would have watched....

Would a spinoff of The Office--now nine years old and finally at its very last season--actually thrive on NBC's rapidly eroding schedule, no matter who received it? It's hard to believe that Rainn Wilson truly couldn't carry his own spinoff as the brilliant Dwight Schrute, one of the greatest characters of the modern day sitcom era. But it may just be that The Farm, the briefly-discussed sitcom planned as a spinoff from tomorrow night's standalone episode of The Office, was decidedly a product of a dead franchise, and perhaps it was best to just kill the thing and let its stars get on with their lives.
But behold! The episode entitled "The Farm," the first-ever glance at the entire Schrute clan, will still see the light of day, even if no more trips to the pasture remain. Get your preview of the upcoming episode in the preview below:

"The Office" will not live on with "The Farm," the Dwight Schrute-centered spinoff, but viewers will still be able to see the backdoor pilot.
"The Farm" will air on Thursday, March 14 at 9 p.m. on NBC. The backdoor pilot features Dwight reuniting with his siblings to run the Schrute beet farm and bed and breakfast. Guest stars include Majandra Delfino, Thomas Middleditch, Matt L. Jones and Tom Bower.
Rainn Wilson, Dwight to "The Office" fans, told The Huffington Post that he was disappointed "The Farm" wasn't going forward. "We had worked really hard on it and I think created a really cool and different pilot," Wilson said. "But it was kind of a relief in a way, because it's time to hang up the old Dwight bad haircut and glasses and move on. "

Mike Judge has cast the leads for his single-camera HBO comedy pilot about "the high tech gold rush of modern Silicon Valley, where the people most qualified to succeed are the least capable of handling success." T.J. Miller will play Erlich, the intelligent and self-satisfied owner of the Hacker House. Thomas Middleditch will play the brilliant yet socially awkward software engineer Thomas. For Middleditch, this comes after The Farm — The Office spinoff of which he was one of the stars — got killed. While Miller is still technically attached to The Goodwin Games, Fox has allowed its stars to look for other projects, as the show is basically dead. So it goes — network TV's loss is yet again pay cable's gain.

Rainn Wilson's The Farm was deemed too singular and too special for the more inclusive, multiple-cameras-and-humorous-perspectives-on-parenting future of NBC.

Rainn Wilson fans were bummed when NBC decided not to pick up his Dwight Schrute Office spin-off, The Farm this year. I have to imagine it was a good call however, as it didn't sound like a terribly good premise, but I would still be curious to see how it would go. Well, now we'll [...]...

It's an interesting, transitional time in Rainn Wilson's life. With the end of "The Office" upon him, he's found himself in a sentimental mood, and perhaps not coincidentally, grappling with existential questions as part of his Own Special "Oprah and Rainn Wilson Present SoulPancake."
In a wide-ranging interview with HuffPost TV, Wilson discussed what's in store for the end of "The Office," his mixed reaction to NBC's decision to pass on his Dwight-focused "Office" spinoff "The Farm," and the Own special, which explores the nature of love. The conversation also touched on the tragic school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, as Wilson, the father of an eight-year-old son, called for a national discussion focused on stopping the cycle of gun violence in America, "because our current plan just isn't working."

A spinoff from The Office was rejected because its appeal was "too narrow", NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke has explained. The Farm would have followed Rainn Wilson's Office character Dwight as he returned home to run the family business - a beet farm and bed and breakfast. "We love Rainn," Salke told TV Guide. "But... a very specific audience would be checking that show out, and that feels too narrow for what we're trying to do." Salke added that NBC is looking for "big, breakout ideas" from its new comedy series. "We're (more)...

When The Office ends next May, it looks like we'll be saying goodbye to all of the characters after all. Plans for The Farm spin-off have been cancelled.
The new show would have followed Rainn Wilson's Dwight at a Schrute family beet farm/bed and breakfast. The pilot also featured Majandra Delfino, Matt Jones, Mike Schur, Thomas Middleditch and Tom Bower.
Wilson broke the news via Twitter, writing, "Farm Update: NBC has passed on moving forward with The Farm TV show. Had a blast making the pilot - onwards & upwards!"
On the positive side, The Farm pilot will be shown as part of The Office's current ninth season.

Despite the obvious reservations that the entire TV-watching world had when the creators of The Office said they were going to make a spinoff series focused around Rainn Wilson‘s Dwight, they went ahead and shot a pilot anyway, which can now be officially deemed a waste of money – the show, rumored to be called The Farm, has been shelved.
Rainn Wilson himself broke the “bad” news to his fans on Twitter:
“NBC has passed on moving forward with The Farm TV show. Had a blast making the pilot – onwards & upwards!”
Which means that, actually, it might not have been a waste of money at all. The decision to not make the show might have saved NBC money in the long run.

The Office is (finally) ending this year, and with that news comes all members of the cast flooding out to new projects and shows after being free of the nine year-long program.
One of those is Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight Schrute. He was the one meant to keep The Office going in one form or another with his own spin-off, The Farm, which would keep his character alive. it was going to be Dwight and a few members of his crazy family on his beet farm, but now, he personally broke the news on Twitter than it was not meant to be.
"Farm Update: NBC has passed on moving forward with The Farm TV show. Had a blast making the pilot - onwards & upwards!"
Supposedly the pilot script was pretty terrible, and people were calling it a new "Joey" in the making, referring to the infamous "Friends" spin-off that made Matt LeBlanc look terrible.

Back in January, NBC announced that it's moving forward with "The Farm," a spin-off of "The Office" that will focus on Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) and his family running a bed-and-breakfast inn. The network went as far as casting and making the pilot episode. The goal was to conduct a test by airing the episode and then see if the show is worthy of getting a full season. But before "The Farm even premiered, NBC decided to cancel it. Thomas Middleditch (College Humor) will play Jeb Schrute, Dwight's brother. While Majandra Delfino will play Dwight's younger sister Frannie. The goal was to introduce some of the character on "The Office." No word if that will still happen.

TThe Dwight-centered spinoff of "The Office" won't be coming to your television next season -- though you may get a taste of it later this season.
"The Farm" would have starred Rainn Wilson as Dwight in a show about him and several family members operating their beet farm and a bed and breakfast. Wilson tweeted Monday afternoon (Oct. 29) that NBC opted not to go forward with it: "NBC has passed on moving forward with 'The Farm' TV show. Had a blast making the pilot - onwards & upwards!"
As it stands, audiences will probably still see what might have been. "The Farm" was intended to air as a planted spinoff in an episode of "The Office" -- meaning it would be part of a regular episode.
"The Farm" also starred Majandra Delfino ("Roswell"), Blake Garrett, Thomas Middleditch, Tom Bower and Matt Jones. Former "Office" showrunner Paul Lieberstein wrote the pilot with Wilson.

The Farm has been shut down.
Rainn Wilson Tweeted today that his Office spin-off - which would have followed Dwight Schrute and his family on a farm they inherited - will not move forward after all.
"NBC has passed on The Farm TV show,” the actor wrote. “Had a blast making the pilot — onwards and upwards!”
Members of the Schrute family have already been cast and the sitcom will air the "backdoor pilot," in which we meet these relatives, as a standalone Season 9 episode.
The Office concludes in May.

The Farm, NBC's attempt to craft a spinoff of The Office starring Rainn Wilson, appears to be dead. So says Wilson himself, who tweeted out the following Monday afternoon: "NBC has passed on moving forward with The Farm TV show. Had a blast making the pilot - onwards & upwards!" It's still possible we might see how Farm executive producer Paul Lieberstein planned on transitioning Dwight out of his cubicle, however. That's because, as of earlier this year, NBC's plan was to film the spinoff as an episode of The Office. It's possible NBC (and current Office showrunner Greg Daniels) might have opted against that scenario; we've got messages into both NBC and Liebertstein and will update you when we get word.

It looks like the series finale of The Office next spring will wrap the stories of all characters on the Emmy-winning workplace comedy. I hear NBC will not be proceeding with The Farm, its planned spinoff from The Office. The project, starring Rainn Wilson, was to be introduced as an episode of The Office this season before launching as its own series. It is unclear if that episode will still air. NBC is yet to confirm the news, but rumors about The Farm‘s demise started circulating just before lunch. Wilson then confirmed it on Twitter. “NBC has passed on moving forward with The Farm TV show,” he wrote. “Had a blast making the pilot – onwards & upwards!” The timing of NBC’s decision, if true, is surprising given that it comes before the spinoff episode has aired. The spinoff, created by Wilson and former Office showrunner Paul Lieberstein, has Dwight...

NBC agreed, it’s been further developed to include multiple generations, many cousins and neighbors. At its base it will be about a family farm struggling to survive and a family trying to stay together.
