Several years ago, actor Leslie David Baker, who played Stanley Hudson on The Office, launched a campaign that excited fans of the series. In fact, he promised a spin-off of the comedy production, which would focus on the character he brought to life. "Uncle Stan" was the name of the production that excited fans of the series. Although many were looking forward to the project, in the end the current strike between screenwriters and actors ended up severely affecting it. From 2020 to date Stanley Hudson managed to raise more than 300 thousand dollars, which will have to be returne to the donors who contributed through the Kickstarter platform.
Through a publication on Instagram was Leslie David Baker who regretted the cancellation of the project. "We apologize for the delay in the updates," he began by saying in the statement on social networks. Another reason for returning the funds raised was donor complaints and suspicion of keeping the money. "For your information, Although the total amount funded according to Kickstarter was $336,450.53, that was not the actual final amount, as we got less. The final amount we received from Kickstarter was exactly $110,629.81. No one used the founds for any purpose other than fulfillment of the reward and backer reimbursements, and otherwise remained accounted for and intact in the account," closed The Office star.
For fans of The Office, that the spin-off ended up being cancelled was a total disappointment. It is known that the series from its inception was a total success, and even years after its end, it is still one of the most famous when it comes to the comedy genre.
