After appearing as a guest star in NBC’s The Office season finale, James Spader is in negotiations with the network to apparently join the sitcom’s eighth season next fall. Spader, as character Robert California, would not actually replace Steve Carell as Dunder Mifflin’s manager but instead take over as CEO of Dunder Mifflin, replacing Kathy Bates who also stars in Harry’s Law on NBC. At this time, no deal has been worked out with Spader and no scripts written to include his character for the upcoming eighth season which commences production in approximately a month.
