Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski are giving fans of The Office the ultimate Jim and Dwight reunion!

On May 9, Wilson shared a photo with Krasinski on Instagram after the two reunited backstage at CBS Mornings.

In the caption, Wilson, 58, shared that he was there while promoting his new podcast “Soul Bloom," and Krasinski was also on the show to promote his upcoming directorial debut in IF."Look who I ran into behind the scenes at @cbsmornings - @johnkrasinski is promoting @ifmovie and YOU MUST GO AND SEE IT NEXT WEEK!!!!" Wilson captioned the shot. "Was amazing to see my incredibly talented, big-hearted brother from another (Scranton) life! ♥️????????"

On his own Instagram, Krasinski shared a similar photo, joking in the caption of the post, “Soooo… I think I found my IF,” in reference to his upcoming movie.

Krasinski and Wilson played frenemies Jim Halpert and Dwight Schrute, respectively, for all nine seasons of The Office. The acclaimed comedy series — whichaired 201 episodes between 2005 and 2013— followed the daily lives of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company employees at theirScranton, Pennsylvania branch.

Besides Krasinski and Wilson, the show also starred Steve Carell,Jenna Fischer, Mindy Kaling,B.J. Novak, Ed Helms,Craig Robinson,Creed Bratton,Kate Flannery, Angela Kinsey,Phyllis Smith, Brian Baumgartner, Oscar Nuñez, Leslie David Baker, Paul Lieberstein, Melora Hardin, and Ellie Kemper.

Wilson was not the only Office costar Krasinski got to reunite with recently. IF also stars Carell, who voices Blue, one of the main imaginary friends. “We actually worked together on this little thing a long time ago,” Krasinski said in a behind-the-s -

cenes video taken while the pair worked on the film.

And though the IF cast also includes stars like Jon Stewart, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Maya Rudolph, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Meloni, Richard Jenkins, Awkwafina and Louis Gossett Jr., Krasinski said he was particularly excited to be working with Carell again.

"Oh my God,The Officereunion we've all been waiting for is in it," he toldEntertainment Weeklyof the film. "The truth is, Steve's one of the most talented people on the planet. So whether I had ever worked with him before or not, I would've been gunning for him because I just had his voice in my head when I was writing Blue."

In the years sinceThe Officeaired its final episode, cast members have all expressed love for their time on the sitcom — and a desire to dive back into the Dunder Mifflin world. A spinoff of the series was announced by Peacock on May 8, though none of the original members are expected to appear.

Despite that, Fischer, 50, recently told PEOPLE the cast keeps in touch regularly with a group chat called “Office Peeps.”

“We all text on it, send pictures and updates and all the things you have on a text thread,” theOffice Ladiespodcastco-host said. “We all run into each other and get together on the side. But we have our text thread, it's going strong.”
