Office Spinoff Alert! 'The Paper' Drops All Episodes at Once!
Get ready for a new workplace comedy! Greg Daniels, the mastermind behind the American version of “The Office,” is back with a spinoff titled “The Paper.” Set in the same universe as Dunder Mifflin, but focusing on the struggling newspaper, 'The Toledo Truth-Teller', this series promises a fresh take on the mockumentary format.
What's 'The Paper' About?
“The Paper” follows Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson), an idealistic new editor trying to revive the 'Toledo Truth-Teller'. He faces challenges from managing editor Esmeralda Grand (Sabrina Impacciatore), who prefers infotainment over serious journalism. The series explores the dynamics of a newsroom facing budget cuts and dwindling morale.
A Familiar Face Returns
Fans of “The Office” will be thrilled to see Oscar Nuñez reprising his role as Oscar Martinez, the pragmatic accountant. This time, he's not so happy to be in front of the cameras again! Oscar's presence connects the new series to its beloved predecessor.
Binge-Watching Alert!
Peacock has changed its release strategy for “The Paper.” Originally planned for a staggered release, all 10 episodes will now be available to stream on September 4th. Peacock made the decision based on overwhelmingly positive feedback from previews of the show.
Why Binge?
Dropping all episodes at once allows viewers to immerse themselves fully in the world of “The Paper.” It also puts the series ahead of the crowded fall TV premiere schedule, giving it a better chance to capture audience attention. The quick release should help the show gain immediate traction.
Who Else is in The Paper?
Alongside Gleeson, Impacciatore, and Nuñez, the series stars Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key. Guest stars include Duane Shepard Sr., Allan Havey, Nate Jackson, Mo Welch, Nancy Lenehan, Molly Ephraim, and Tracy Letts.
Get Ready to Laugh!
With Greg Daniels at the helm and a talented cast, “The Paper” is poised to be the next must-watch workplace comedy. Mark your calendars for September 4th and prepare for a binge-watching session!
