All that we know regarding the spin-off of The Office, titled The Paper.

      Despite being regarded as one of the most successful sitcoms of the 21st century, The Office has never truly had a proper spin-off. This is set to change with The Paper, which was first announced in 2024 and will focus on a completely different field: local journalism.

      The series exists in the "same universe" as The Office and was co-created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman. It is slated to premiere on Peacock soon, and many fans are eager for more details about the show. Here’s everything we know about The Paper:

      What is The Paper about?

      This new mockumentary from the creators of The Office takes place at a historic yet struggling local newspaper, The Truth Teller, located in Toledo, Ohio. In the context of the series, the same documentary team that documented the lives of The Office cast for nearly a decade is now capturing the experiences of the staff at this ailing publication.

      “It centers around this struggling Midwestern newspaper that has significantly declined from its prime. Much of the storyline follows Domhnall Gleeson’s character as he attempts to revive the paper, but he lacks the budget to hire reporters, so he must enlist the existing staff to volunteer as reporters. They are entirely untrained and unsure of what to do,” Daniels shared with The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s a rich concept. Local newspapers have a deep history. The antagonist here is the internet and the ease of accessing news for free, which is causing all the advertising revenue to flow to Google.”

      Who is in the cast of The Paper?

      Alongside Domhnall Gleeson, who will be the series' central character, the cast will feature Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Nate Jackson, Tim Key, Eric Rahill, Allan Havey, Duane Shepard Sr., Mo Welch, Nancy Lenehan, Molly Ephraim, and Tracy Letts.

      While specific roles for these actors remain undisclosed, the ensemble cast is undoubtedly impressive.

      Additionally, Oscar Nuñez will be reprising his role as accountant Oscar Martinez in the new series, although details on the extent of his role are still unknown. At the conclusion of the original series, he was running for state senator but is now employed as an accountant for the newspaper.

      What is the release date for The Paper?

      The Paper is reportedly on track for a Fall 2025 release, although a precise premiere date for the series has yet to be officially announced.

      Is there a trailer for The Paper?

      As of now, no trailer for the series has been made available to the public. However, NBC did provide a sneak peek to attendees at their upfront presentation. The preview includes Oscar’s return, along with early glimpses of Gleeson’s character and Impacciatore, who plays the paper's managing editor.
