New Cast Joins The Office Spinoff The Paper

Peacock's upcoming reboot of The Office, tentatively titled The Paper, has announced the addition of Melvin Gregg, Chelsea Frei, and Ramona Young to its cast. The series will focus on a declining Midwestern newspaper and its volunteer reporters, maintaining the documentary-style format from the original show. The new project is created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, with original creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant serving as executive producers. Previously announced cast members include Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore. The actors have been shadowing real newspaper staff to prepare for their roles, emphasizing the show's commitment to authenticity. While the new series is set in the same universe as The Office, there is no confirmation of past cast members making appearances, although some have expressed openness to cameos.
