Peacock has set the premiere date for The Paper, a spin-off of the hit comedy The Office, scheduled to debut on September 4, 2025, with four episodes released initially followed by two new episodes every Thursday through September 25. The Paper continues the mockumentary style of The Office, following the same documentary crew as they document the struggles of a historic Midwestern newspaper, The Truth Teller, and its efforts at revival under a new publisher. The series stars Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore, with Oscar Nuñez reprising his role from The Office as accountant Oscar Martinez, now working at the newspaper. Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, the show involves several directors and writers from the original series, maintaining ties to The Office's legacy while exploring new characters and challenges in the media industry. Peacock is positioning The Paper as a streaming exclusive, aiming to attract subscribers with this continuation of The Office universe. The series has a total of 10 episodes in its first season and blends returning talent with fresh faces to capture the tone and humor of its predecessor.
