'The Paper' Spinoff Sets Cast and Premiere Date

'The Paper,' a mockumentary spinoff of 'The Office,' is co-created by Greg Daniels, Michael Koman, and Ricky Gervais, and centers on the Toledo Truth Teller, a struggling newspaper in Ohio. The story follows Ned Sampson, portrayed by Domhnall Gleeson, as the optimistic new editor-in-chief leading a newsroom of underqualified but spirited staff. Oscar Nuñez returns as Oscar Martinez, with Sabrina Impacciatore and other new cast members joining. The series premieres on Peacock on September 4, 2025, with four episodes, followed by weekly episode releases. The trailer showcases classic awkward humor and newsroom chaos, while early fan reactions are mixed regarding the show's tone. The series retains the comedic style of 'The Office' while satirizing challenges in modern journalism.
