According to Deadline.com, Thomas Middleditch ('The Campaign') and Majandra Delfino have been cast in the upcoming NBC 'Office' spin-off The Farm. The spin-off project which will star Rainn Wilson as bumbling Dunder Mifflin worker Dwight Schrute, will be set up in an upcoming episode of The Office's ninth season. 

The Farm will be set at Dwight's family's beet farm and bed & breakfast. Middleditch will portray his "easygoing 30something brother, Jeb Schrute, who hasn’t done well in any previous career paths he’s taken – worm breeder and Bigfoot hunter among them — but has found some success with a pot farm and has made an exercise video about things you can do with a knife and a canoe." Delfino will take on the role of their sister Fannie.

Earlier this week, NBC announced that the veteran docu-style comedy The Office will close its doors after the upcoming season. The spin-off was conceived by Wilson and former Office executive producer/showrunner Paul Lieberstein.
