Production

"Finale" was written by serial developer and showrunner Greg Daniels, making it his second writing credit for the year, afterwards the season debut "New Guys", and his 12th writing credit overall. Rainn Wilson later joked that Daniels was "the state vet who birthed this puppy" and had come "back to put it downward". The episode was directed by Ken Kwapis. Kwapis had originally directed the series' pilot episode. His terminal directorial credit for the series, prior to "Finale", all the same, was the fifth flavor episode "Visitor Picnic".

"I figured the character would get back and visit everybody, but he wouldn't practise it on camera at this signal. I think he had grown past the idea of existence in the documentary, that was my take on information technology. That [Michael Scott] had said goodbye to that attribute of his life, that that's not what was important to him. I simply idea, yeah he'd go back and visit, but he wouldn't want the camera crew to be documenting it." —Steve Carell, explaining his hesitation to return to The Office.

The series finale will guest star Rachael Harris, Dakota Johnson, Joan Cusack, Ed Begley Jr. and Malcolm Barrett. The episode volition feature the return of several of the serial' actors and actresses, including former series writers and stars B. J. Novak and Mindy Kaling, likewise as Andy Buckley, Bobby Rae Shafer, Michael Schur, and Matt Jones. Early during production for the season, Kinsey and Wilson too noted that the cast and crew were hoping for a return of former lead role player Steve Carell as Michael Scott. In mid-December, Krasinski later revealed that he was optimistic about a return; in an interview with East! Online Krasinski said that the producers were supposedly "still trying to figure out [Carell'southward] schedule" and that the finale "just wouldn't exist the same without him". However, NBC chairman Robert Greenblatt subsequently admitted during an interview that while he is "hopeful", he does not retrieve Carell will render; he noted that Carell was satisfied with his character's get out and did not desire to tarnish it. On January xvi, Daniels revealed that Carell would not appear in the finale in any capacity, a determination that Carell after reiterated. Iii months later, however, the producers for The Office mounted "an 11th hour effort last month" to get Carell to make a cameo in the show's final episode, co-ordinate to TVLine. Co-ordinate to the article, "while no one is confirming that the final diplomatic push button proved successful, no i is denying it either." Carell'southward personal representative confirmed that Carell was on the prepare for the final episode, but that he did not film any scenes. Notwithstanding, an bearding source close to the show cryptically said "don't rule annihilation out". TVLine afterwards reported on May half-dozen, that Carell would appear in a cameo, although NBC declined to annotate and Carell'south representatives continued to deny the reports.

The initial idea for the finale was thought of by Daniels during production of the third flavour, described as "a reunion show, in the manner of the mail service-competition bandage rehashes familiar from reality shows like Survivor." Daniels, at one bespeak, approached Jeff Probst, the host of Survivor, to appear in the finale as a moderator for the fictional reunion, although he declined. The initial table read for the episode took place on March four, 2013. Filming commenced on March 6. Co-ordinate to Jenna Fischer, the episode took 9 days to film, with the bandage devoting 12 hours a mean solar day to the episode. The finale was described as "aggressive", featuring multiple location shoots, including one in an AT&T function building, which stood in for the Scranton Cultural Center. Filming for the episode and series every bit a whole came to an end on March 16, 2013. Wilson afterward tweeted a moving picture of the "empty" set after all filming had been finished. Originally, the episode was supposed to be the 23rd and 24th episodes of the season, which would accept meant that the series aired exactly 200 episodes. All the same, the serial' penultimate episode was elongated into 2 separate episodes, resulting in "Finale" beingness the 24th and 25th episodes of the season. This meant that the concluding part of "Finale" volition exist the series' 201st episode. Once filming finished, Daniels in an interview with TVLine expressed his hope to expand the episode, stating, "I was very excited with the footage we got [...] It'southward very big. I'm going to beg NBC to super-size it or extend information technology." Daniels later commented that when the editors cutting together the first deed, information technology was 23 minutes long; this is much longer than a normal commencement act for an hour long episode of television. In response, OfficeTally—the largest fan site for the serial—started an online petition to supersize the finale, like to the petition to aggrandize the second-season finale, "Casino Dark". By May two, the petition had received over 20,000 signatures. On May 7, it was announced that NBC had extended the episode by 15 minutes, significant that the episode would be 55 minutes in total.
