The first trailer for Amazon's female-led Australian remake of The Office has arrived – and fans don't know how to feel about it.

In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, we're introduced to the newest iteration of Michael Scott/David Brent – who is just as high-strung and quirky as her precedents (though fans of both the US and UK Office don't seem too impressed.)

Per the official synopsis, "Hannah Howard (Felicity Ward) is the managing director of Flinley Craddick. When she gets news that her branch will be shut down to work remotely, she goes into survival mode, making promises she can't keep in order to keep her 'work family' together."

The cast includes Edith Poor as Lizzie, the Dwight/Gareth role; Steen Raskopoulos as sales rep Nick, playing the Tim/Jim role; and Shari Sebbens as Greta, the Pam/Dawn role (via The Hollywood Reporter).

Josh Thomson, Jonny Brugh, Susan Ling Young, Raj Labade, Lucy Schmidt, Zoe Terakes, Pallavi Sharda, Claude Jabbour and Jason Perini also star.
