Peacock Shifts The Office Spinoff The Paper To Binge Release

The Office spinoff series, The Paper, will premiere on Peacock on September 4 with a change in release strategy, offering all 10 episodes for binge-watching at once instead of a weekly rollout. This decision was influenced by overwhelmingly positive early reactions, prompting creators and executives to encourage audiences to consume the series in one go. The Paper follows the documentary crew from The Office as they focus on a struggling historic Toledo newspaper, with Oscar Nuñez reprising his role as Oscar Martinez. The series, created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, features a new ensemble cast including Domhnall Gleeson as the newspaper's editor-in-chief. While Oscar's character appears, the show centers on the newspaper and its challenges rather than the original Office characters. Executive producers include notable names such as Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, with Universal Television producing the show.
