Peacock today revealed details and a first look photo from the upcoming comedy series, The Paper, the sequel series to The Office, set in the same universe as the hit series which ran for 9 seasons. Instead of selling just paper, The Paper, revolves around the newspaper business.
The Paper will premiere in September 2025 on the Peacock streaming platform and will see the return of fan favorite Oscar Nuñez (who played Oscar Martinez on The Office). Series regulars are Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina), Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus), Chelsea Frei (Poker Face), Melvin Gregg (American Vandal), Gbemisola Ikumelo (A League Of Their Own), Alex Edelman (Just For Us), Ramona Young (Never Have I Ever), and Tim Key (The Witchfinder).
The Office wrung tons of hilarity from its single-camera comedy perspective — and with its faux-documetary format, The Paper will arrive with its own signature point-of-view spin. Peacock’s new series “features the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch,” the NBCUniversal streamer teases: “The crew is in search of a new subject when they discover a historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the eager publisher that is trying to revive it.” – NBC
Greg Daniels (co-creator of the American version of The Office) and Michael Koman (co-creator of Nathan for You) are developing the series as the show’s co-creators, writers, and executive producers.
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant (co-creators of the original version of British version of The Office) will serve as executive producers, along with Howard Klein, Ben Silverman, and Banijay Americas.
