 “The Paper”: A New Spin-Off from The Office Lands on Peacock


It appears you're referring to The Paper, an upcoming American mockumentary sitcom set to premiere on Peacock in September 2025. This series is a spin-off from the beloved show The Office, created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman. It maintains the original's signature documentary-style format while introducing a new setting and characters


The Paper picks up the lens of the original Office documentary crew as they leave Scranton behind and set their sights on The Truth Teller, a historic but faltering newspaper fighting for survival in the digital age. At the center of this new story is Ned (played by Domhnall Gleeson), a bright-eyed idealist and newly appointed publisher determined to modernize the newsroom and bring it back from the brink.

Opposite Ned is Esmerelda (Sabrina Impacciatore), the tough, seasoned editor-in-chief who’s seen it all — and isn’t sold on Ned’s big ideas. Their dynamic drives much of the tension and comedy, echoing the kind of quirky workplace interactions that made The Office a cultural phenomenon.

Overview of The Paper

The Paper follows the documentary crew from The Office as they transition from the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin to Toledo, Ohio.

Their new subject is The Truth Teller, a historic newspaper struggling to stay afloat.The camera crew is transferring from Scranton to Toledo.

The Paper, a new series set in the same universe as The Office, is coming to Peacock in September, as NBCUniversal announced at their May 12 Upfront presentation in New York City. The show will follow the same mockumentary style, however instead of following around employees of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, this time the cameras are on The Truth Teller, a historic Midwestern newspaper that an eager publisher is working to revive. 

The series will star Domhnall Gleeson as the publisher, as well as Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young and Tim Key. But the series will feature one familiar face as Office actor Oscar Nuñez will reprise his role as Oscar Martinez.

While the camera crew behind the iconic Office documentary-style interviews was not featured in the original series until the final season, The Paper will highlight the crew as they search for their next subject, which will be the Toledo-based newspaper.

Several guest stars have also been announced, including Eric Rahill, Duane Shepard Sr., Allan Havey, Nate Jackson, Mo Welch, Nancy Lenehan, Molly Ephraim, and Tracy Letts.


The series centers on Ned (Domhnall Gleeson), an idealistic new publisher determined to revitalize the paper, and Esmerelda (Sabrina Impacciatore), the seasoned editor-in-chief. Oscar Nuñez reprises his role as Oscar Martinez, now working as the accountant at the newspaper, bringing a touch of familiarity to the new setting.

In addition to Gleeson, Impacciatore, and Nuñez, the main cast includes:

  • Melvin Gregg

  • Chelsea Frei

  • Ramona Young

  • Gbemisola Ikumelo

The series is executive produced by Greg Daniels, Michael Koman, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein, and Ben Silverman. Production companies involved include Deedle-Dee Productions, W.D.M. Productions, 3 Arts Entertainment, Banijay Americas, and Universal Television.

Themes and Style

The Paper aims to explore the challenges faced by traditional print media in the digital age, blending satire with heartfelt storytelling. While it shares the mockumentary style of The Office, the new setting allows for fresh comedic dynamics and character development. The series promises to offer a mix of humor and insight into the world of journalism, much like its predecessor did with office culture.

Fans of The Office can look forward to The Paper bringing back the familiar documentary-style humor while introducing new characters and settings to explore.
