Here’s what to know:

‘The Paper’ Peacock series

What we know:

"The Paper" was created by Greg Daniels ("The Office") and Michael Koman ("Nathan for You") and is set in Toledo "as the same documentary crew that followed the beloved employees of Dunder Mifflin search for a new subject to focus on," according to a synopsis from Peacock. 

"They land on the historic but struggling Midwestern newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the eager publisher trying to revive it," the synopsis reads. 

What we don't know:

The series will stream exclusively on Peacock in September 2025. However, an official date has not yet been announced.

Dig deeper:

The cast includes Domhnall Gleeson, who is seen standing on one of the desks in the newsroom in the first-look photo, as well as Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key.

"The Office" fans will also notice a familiar-looking employee in the image: Oscar Nuñez, who played accountant Oscar Martinez in the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin, is pictured in the background behind a computer. 

Similar to "The Office," some of the starring actors will also be in "The Paper" writing room as well – including Ikumelo, Edelman, Eric Rahill and Mo Welch.

The backstory:

NBC’s Emmy-winning comedy "The Office" had a nine-season run between 2005 and 2013 and was created as an adaptation by Daniels of the British series of the same name. It garnered new fans while streaming on Netflix during the pandemic years and is also now streaming on Peacock.
