The Paper, the New Series Set in The Office Universe, Has a Release Date
From Scranton to Toledo, the documentary crew is ready for action.
The Paper, the new series set in The Office universe, has an official premiere date.
The Peacock Original will launch Thursday, Sept 4 with the first four episodes, followed by two-episode drops every week through Sept 25.
From creators Greg Daniels (The Office) and Michael Koman (Nathan for You), the anticipated series follows the same documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch on the Emmy®-winning comedy The Office. This time, they focus their cameras on a struggling Midwestern newspaper, the Toledo Truth Teller, and the publisher trying to revive it.
The Paper stars series regulars Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key, and The Office alum Oscar Nuñez.
Guest stars dropping by throughout the season include Eric Rahill, Tracy Letts, Molly Ephraim, Mo Welch, Allan Havey, Duane Shepard Sr., Nate Jackson, and Nancy Lenehan.
Daniels, who was the creative mastermind behind the U.S. version of The Office, is back as executive producer, writer, and director, along with Koman. Other directors stepping behind the camera may be familiar to Office fans, from Ken Kwapis and Jennifer Celotta to Dave Rogers and Paul Lieberstein, who played Toby.
Also serving as executive producers on The Paper are Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein, Ben Silverman, and Banijay Americas, formerly Reveille.
Can’t wait for September? Now’s the perfect time to catch up on all nine seasons of The Office on Peacock.
If you want to spend more time with our beloved Dunder Mifflin-ites, Peacock has eight seasons of The Office Superfan Episodes, which feature extended scenes and never-before-seen material.
