James Spader will be leaving The Office at the end of the current Season 8, after just one year on the show as the CEO of Dunder Mifflin Sabre.
Apparently, Spader did not want to return and Office executive producer Paul Lieberstein tells Variety, "James always wanted this to be a one-year arc, and he now leaves us having created one of the most enigmatic and dynamic characters in television. He's been a great friend to me and the show, helping us successfully transition into the post-Michael Scott years, and I'm grateful for that."

Variety says it's not clear how he'll be written out of the show. Personally, I'm curious if they'll have Robert simply leave the company or if they'll just say he's stopped flying to Scranton so much – it would be easy to keep him off screen in Florida and allow for occasional guest appearances, if Spader were up for it.
Officially, The Office has not been renewed for Season 9, but announcing Spader is leaving, which both NBC and Lieberstein confirm with Variety, pretty much confirms the show will go on – on the heels of the recent news of a potential spinoff.
