Where We Left Off: Michael Scott said goodbye to Dunder Mifflin, leaving a gaggle of guest stars and co-workers vying for his job as Scranton branch manager.

What's Next: James Spader will be the new CEO, the branch gets a new manager and viewers will meet Andy's parents (Stephen Collins and Dee Wallace) and his brother (played by Josh Groban). Plus, look for more than one pregnancy to rock 'The Office.'

Season 8 premieres Thurs., Sept. 22, 9PM ET on NBC
