The Paper Spin-Off Trailer Highlights Toledo Setting

Peacock has released the first trailer for The Paper, a spin-off of The Office, which is set to premiere on September 4. Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, the series shifts the mockumentary format to a struggling local newspaper in Toledo, Ohio, called The Truth Teller. Domhnall Gleeson stars as the new editor-in-chief, supported by a mostly new cast, with Oscar Nuñez reprising his role as Oscar Martinez from the original series. The show features the return of the original documentary crew and nods to the challenges facing modern media. Early reactions note the humor is more restrained than The Office, but fans are excited for the fresh take on workplace comedy and the exploration of journalism. The series aims to blend nostalgia with new storytelling about media and office dynamics.
