Rainn Wilson's The Office spin-off has been shelved by bosses at US TV network NBC.

Earlier this year, the comedian shot a pilot episode of The Farm, which centred around his character Dwight Schrute's life away from the office running a beetroot farm and bed and breakfast.

Taking to his Twitter page, the 46-year-old actor wrote: "Farm Update: Nbc has passed on moving forward with The Farm Tv show. Had a blast making the pilot - onwards & upwards! Keep watching the Awesome final season of The Office. Many surprises & hilariousities coming!"

Vulture stated that The Farm pilot will still air as an episode of The Office later this season, as originally intended.
