The Office Spinoff The Paper Debuts Featuring Oscar Nuñez

The Office universe continues with its spinoff series The Paper, which follows a struggling local newspaper in Toledo, Ohio, using the same mockumentary style and documentary crew from the original show. Oscar Nuñez reprises his role as Oscar Martinez, the accountant, whose character was chosen to return because he had unresolved storylines and maintained a consistent, dignified persona throughout The Office. Co-creators Greg Daniels and Michael Koman explained that Oscar's character has more potential for development without disrupting the original show's closure, and in The Paper, he is reluctantly drawn back into being filmed while adapting to new challenges under an inspirational editor-in-chief played by Domhnall Gleeson. The series introduces a new cast alongside Oscar, including Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, and others, as they attempt to revive the newspaper amid corporate consolidation. The Paper aims to blend humor and new adventures while honoring the original's documentary format and character-driven storytelling. Both Daniels and Nuñez emphasize Oscar's pragmatic nature and growth as he navigates this unfamiliar environment, making him a perfect bridge between the old and new worlds.
