Michael Scott and the gang are coming north — sort of.

Winnipeg will be featured in an upcoming episode of “The Office” when Steve Carell’s eccentric boss and several of his employees visit the Manitoba capital on a business trip.

The show, which revolves around the fictional paper firm Dunder Mifflin in Scranton, Penn., did not actually film on location.

Instead, props were brought to the Los Angeles set to make the Winnipeg scenes — which take place at the airport, a hotel and a bar — as authentic as possible.

Viewers will be able to spot a range of local fare, from Fort Garry beer to Old Dutch potato chips.

The episode will air Nov. 13 on Global at 9 p.m.

Winnipeg has previously been featured in “The Simpsons” and is the setting (and shooting location) of the comedy-drama series “Less Than Kind,” which debuted on Citytv this month.
