The Office Race premiere date has been set for a new Comedy Central movie.

This TV movie will star Joel McHale (Community), Beck Bennett (Saturday Night Live), Kelsey Grammer (Frasier), Alyson Hannigan (How I Met Your Mother), and J.B. Smoove (Curb Your Enthusiasm). According to Deadline, the film “centers around an unambitious office worker (Bennett) who goes to great lengths—specifically 26.2 miles—to one-up his exercise-obsessed, micromanaging boss (McHale).”

When does Office Race premiere?

It debuts on Monday, September 4, 2023, at 8:00 pm.

It is directed by newcomer Jared Lapidus, who wrote it with Impractical Jokers writer James Kilmoon in their directorial debut.

Kylie Bunbury (Big Sky), Erinn Hayes (A Christmas Story Christmas), Geoffrey Arend (500 Days of Summer), Katlyn Carlson (iCarly), Matt Richards (That Damn Michael Che) and Karolena Theresa (You Hurt My Feelings) also star.

“Bennett will play Pat, a passionless pushover who coasts aimlessly through life until he’s goaded into running a marathon and soon discovers his love for the sport…McHale will play Spencer, Pat’s co-worker and rival, who’s a brown-nosing fitness fanatic with zero self-awareness and a crippling addiction to a quasi-legal sports drink.”

“Hannigan will play Girlfriend Pat, Pat’s same-named girlfriend, who’s growing weary of his lackadaisical approach to life…Grammer will play Coach B, Julie’s former high-school track coach and oft-injured marathoner who owns a local running store…Smoove will play Harry, a former world champion race-walker, who touts the purity of his niche sport and thumbs his nose at the running community,” according to Deadline.

“Hayes will play Rita, a potential investor in Pat’s company and the relentlessly positive, running gear-obsessed captain of the charity running team. Arend will play Don, an emo-adult who’s desperate for companionship and to be recognized for all his charitable efforts, which he’s more than happy to tell you about.”

“Theresa will play Olivia, Pat and Spencer’s bubbly co-worker, who’s more into running clothes than the running itself. Carlson will play Kiki, Harry’s hyper-competitive muse, who’s unafraid to turn running into a contact sport, and will do whatever it takes to win. Bunbury will play Julie, Pat’s smart, dynamic, refreshingly honest teammate and eventual coach, and maybe something more. Richards will play Dave, Pat’s fun-loving best friend who enjoys marathons…of his favorite films, and enables Pat’s laid back lifestyle.”
