The Office Spin-Off The Paper Premieres September Toledo, UK

The highly-anticipated spin-off to The Office, titled The Paper, has released its official trailer ahead of its premiere on September 4 on Peacock and September 5 on Sky/NOW in the UK. The show follows the same documentary crew from The Office as they shift their focus to a struggling Midwestern newspaper, the Toledo Truth Teller, led by new editor-in-chief Ned Sampson, played by Domhnall Gleeson. Fan-favorite Oscar Nuñez returns as Oscar Martinez, reluctantly reappearing on camera and expressing his displeasure at being filmed again. The new series introduces a cast of inexperienced journalists and volunteers, providing a fresh comedic look at the challenges of local journalism. While some fans remain cautious about the spin-off living up to the original's legacy, many have been won over by Oscar's surprise cameo and Gleeson's leading role. The Paper is described as a comedy of underdogs with major issues, continuing the mockumentary style beloved by The Office audience.
