The Office is one of the most popular sitcoms of all time. Who would have thought a mockumentary about the employees of a paper company in Pennsylvania would be such a hit? But that’s exactly what happened in 2015 when the world was introduced to Michael Scott and his team at Dunder Mifflin.

Fans were lucky enough to have many years of Jim, Pam, Dwight, and the rest of The Office characters. But all good things must come to an end, and they officially said goodbye in 2013. Since then, The Office cast has been busy starring in TV shows, movies, and more. Some have even gotten married (to other pretty famous people) and had children. If you’ve been wondering where all the Dunder Mifflin folks are now, keep reading. All the answers are ahead! (Spoiler: None of them live in Scranton.)

John is a big star! Despite being a hilarious comic in The Office, nowadays he's taking a turn for the horrific (A Quiet Place) and politically thrilling (Jack Ryan). But it's not all acting for John. He also shares two kids with his wife, actress Emily Blunt.
