Mom-to-be Amy Poehler is in talks to join NBC's Office spin-off, according to the Hollywood Reporter .
Her name was first linked to the show in April, according to the trade magazine, but resurfaced in late June when serious talks with the network began.
Poehler's pregnancy (she is due in the fall) could also play a factor in her decision.
The spin-off is slated to debut after the Super Bowl in early February, but the trade magazine says that could always change.
Poehler's reps declined to comment.
If she takes the gig, Poehler, 37, would follow in the footsteps of her Baby Mama costar Tina Fey , who ditched Saturday Night Live for the Emmy-winning sitcom 30 Rock .
