Comedy lovers, get ready! The brilliant minds behind some of your favorite shows – Greg Daniels (The Office) and Michael Koman (Nathan for You) have teamed up for an all-new project that’s bound to be just as hilarious and memorable. Say hello to The Paper, a comedy docu-series coming exclusively to Peacock.

What is The Paper?

Remember the documentary-style humor that brought us iconic, awkward moments from the Dunder Mifflin office in Scranton? Well, that same comedic style is back, this time centered on a historic Midwestern newspaper and its determined publisher who’s working tirelessly to breathe life into its fading pages. The concept promises to capture the quirky dynamics of local journalism,...

"Let's show 'em how it's done!" Here we go again! NBC's Peacock service has revealed the official trailer for The Paper, a new spin-off / sequel series from "The Office" continuing with the same style and format. It's a brand new American mockumentary sitcom series created by Greg Daniels (a writer from "The Office") & Michael Koman. The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch in the Emmy Award-winning series "The Office" find a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it. The series is set in Toledo, Ohio, taking us inside "The Truth Teller", a newspaper trying to resurrect itself with volunteer reporters. The full cast includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Melvin Gregg, Chelsea Frei, Ramona Young, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, and Tim Key. So it seems that Domhnall Gleeson is the new Steve Carrell in this series. It also features...

Peacock has released the first trailer for The Paper, the forthcoming spin-off to the beloved mockumentary The Office. Domhnall Gleeson, who’s playing Ned Sampson, the newly appointed editor-in-chief for the struggling Midwestern newspaper, has showcased promise in his brief scenes in the trailer.

Although Steve Carell‘s iconic portrayal of Michael Scott remains a high bar to clear, it appears the creatives behind the show are taking an almost opposite approach to that of Scott, who was a lovable yet incompetent lead.

Domhnall Gleeson Leads a Struggling Newsroom in The Paper Trailer

With the same crew that helmed The Office returning for the spin-off, the sitcom is set in the same universe as that of Dunder Mifflin. Domhnall Gleeson, in contrast to Carell’s Scott, stars as the idealistic journalist Ned Sampson, who is trying to make the best out of his team of misfits and the struggling newsroom,...

Let me confess I am a huge fan of Abba. Not that the sweet Swedish have anything directly to do with James Griffith’s euphonious The Ballad Of Wallis Island. But there is a wonderful sequence where the once-famous folk singer is introduced to the local grocer as a leading folksinger. The lady smiles back and says, “I only listen to Abba.”

The Ballad Of Wallis Island, so aptly titled, is about two singers who once dated and validated a band named McGwyer Mortimer. Now, they have gone their separate ways.

Only to be re-employed by a goodhearted islander to perform privately for him.

This pretty fragile but compelling film’s mainstay, the backbone so to speak, is the isolated scenic Welsh island where the washed-out folk singer Herb McGwyer (Tom Basden) arrives. Herb is immediately inveigled by the overpowering attention of his host Charles (Tim Key) who is a...

Coming into a company as the new editor-in-chief is challenging, but Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson) is willing to give it the old college try. He doesn’t have the money to pay reporters, so he’s gathered a rag-tag group of volunteers to be the Truth-Teller’s editorial staff. Capturing all the inter-office shenanigans is the crew that filmed Dunder Mifflin’s corporate drama, and they’re just as sneaky in Toledo, Ohio, as they were in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Today’s trailer for The Paper takes us into the heart of Peacock‘s The Office spinoff, with more mockumentary mayhem than an inexperienced group of dimwits obsessed with parkour.

Truth-Teller is a bizarre operation. Although the newspaper has been around for over 100 years, its owner has let it fall to pieces. Oh, did I menation that they also sell toilet paper and seat covers, because what well-oiled machine doesn’t?...

Peacock has released the official trailer and key art for The Paper, which will premiere with four episodes on September 4, followed by two new episodes every Thursday through September 25.

The series comes from creators, writers, and executive producers Greg Daniels (The Office) and Michael Koman (Nathan for You) and Universal Television.

In The Paper, the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in the Emmy Award-winning series The Office finds a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and its publisher’s attempt to revive it.

The cast includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus), Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, and Gbemisola Ikumelo.

The Paper takes place in Toledo, Ohio, and follows a documentary crew that shifts its focus from Dunder Mifflin to a struggling local newspaper called The Truth Teller. This once-respected paper is now barely holding on and trying to make a comeback using volunteer reporters.

It’s the same mockumentary style that fans of The Office will recognize, but with a totally new setting and characters.

A brand-new comedy series called The Paper is coming soon to Peacock, and it’s already getting people talking, especially fans of The Office. Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, the show is set in the same universe as The Office and is confirmed to be a spinoff but follows a totally new group of people, this time in a newspaper office instead of a paper company. And yes, the trailer is finally out.

The Paper is a mockumentary sitcom, just like The Office, and takes place in Toledo, Ohio. This time, the documentary crew is focusing on a struggling local newspaper called The Truth Teller. The paper is trying to make a comeback with the help of volunteer reporters. Things don’t go exactly smoothly, of course, and that’s where the comedy comes in.

The show stars Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore, who lead a pretty big and funny cast.

Peacock has unveiled the first trailer for The Paper, the highly anticipated spinoff to the classic comedy sitcom The Office. Boasting an impressive cast and crew, the streaming series will have high expectations to live up to, but the latest footage seems to indicate that The Paper is already on the right track.

The full trailer for The Paper stars Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina) as the new editor-in-chief of a struggling Midwestern newspaper. The same fictional documentary crew from NBC's The Office is now covering the publication's "underdog" story, which includes a familiar face from the original sitcom. In addition to Gleeson, the cast of The Paper features 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 (Santa Clarita Diet) Tim Key (The Witchfinder) and Oscar Nuñez as Óscar Martínez.

It's a good day to be a fan of The Office. Peacock has dropped the first trailer for the upcoming spinoff series The Paper.

With less than a month to go until The Paper's four-episode series premiere, Peacock has dropped the official trailer for the highly anticipated spinoff, which will follow the "documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in The Office." After spending eight years documenting the employees of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company's Scranton branch, the crew's new subject will be a "historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it," according to the logline for the series. Check out the official trailer for The Paper below.

The debut trailer for The Office spinoff series, The Paper, has just debuted!

Here’s the logline: The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in the Emmy Award-winning series “The Office” find a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.

The show stars Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key and returning The Office star Oscar Nuñez. If you don’t know, Oscar portrayed Oscar, an accountant, on every season of The Office.

The Paper premieres with four episodes on September 4, followed by two new episodes every Thursday through September 25.

See which other stars from The Office would join the cast of The Paper, if asked!

Watch the trailer, embedded above, and see stills in the gallery of this post.

The documentary crew that filmed The Office seemingly can’t get enough of paper.

Peacock on Thursday released a trailer for The Paper, a mockumentary set in the same world as The Office (and featuring Oscar Nuñez reprising his role as Oscar Martinez) that finds the crew that filmed Dunder Mifflin taking its cameras to Toledo, Ohio, and following the staff of the Truth-Teller, a newspaper that has been around for more than 100 years but is now apparently an afterthought for its owner, which also sells toilet paper and toilet seat covers.

Into that situation walks Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson), who’s determined to restore the paper to its former glory. He doesn’t have money to pay reporters, however, so he recruits volunteers from the paper’s existing non-editorial staff while the documentary crew follows his efforts — much to Oscar’s dismay. Watch the trailer below.

The Officedocumentary crew is back — and this time, they’re chasing headlines instead of paper sales. Peacock has dropped the first official trailer for The Paper, the long-awaited workplace comedy from The Office co-creatorGreg Daniels and Nathan for You'sMichael Koman, revealing a September 4 premiere date. The first four episodes will drop at launch, with two new episodes arriving every Thursday through September 25. The new series follows the familiar documentary film crew — yes, the one that once captured the chaotic charm of Dunder Mifflin — as they find a fresh subject: a struggling Midwestern newspaper called The Toledo Truth Teller, and the publisher trying to save it from extinction. Leading the charge is Star Wars star Domhnall Gleeson, who brings a very different energy to the boss's chair than Michael Scott or David Brent ever did. He might actually be competent.

The trailer for The Paperpulls back the curtain on the long-awaited spinoff of The Office. A follow-up to the American version of The Office, from creators Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, The Paper brings back the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch. Searching for a new subject, they discover a struggling Midwestern newspaper and its publisher, who is trying to revive it.

Led by Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus), along with a supporting cast that includes Oscar Nuñez reprising his role as Oscar Martinez, The Paper will premiere on Peacock with four episodes on September 4. It'll then be followed by two new episodes every Thursday until the finale on September 25.

Dunder Mifflin is back. Well, not exactly. But the documentary crew that filmed inside the fictional paper company’s office is back, and this time with a new subject.

“The Paper,” an offshoot of NBC’s beloved sitcom “The Office,” follows the staff of a struggling Midwestern newspaper, which happens to employ original series favorite Oscar Martinez (a role reprised by Oscar Nuñez). The mockumentary comedy series debuts on Peacock with four episodes on Sept. 4.

In the trailer, an ambitious journalist named Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson) joins the Toledo Truth Teller as editor-in-chief, with big ideas on how to revitalize the newspaper, which shares office space with a toilet paper company. He must battle budget cuts and motivate a ragtag group of staffers played by Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key and Nuñez. Guest stars include Eric Rahill, Tracy Letts, Molly Ephraim,...

Greg Daniels must really have missed cubicles: “The Office” creator is back with a documentary-style sitcom spinoff series, titled “The Paper,” that reunites him with a slew of “Office” alums. Daniels and “Nathan For You” co-creator Michael Koman are the co-creators, co-showrunner, writers, and executive producers of the highly-anticipated Peacock series.

Much like “The Office,” “The Paper” revolves around an ensemble cast including Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key, and “The Office” alum Oscar Nuñez. Original (Aka British) “The Office” stars and co-creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant executive produce “The Paper” along with Howard Klein, Ben Silverman, and Banijay Americas (formerly Reveille).

“The Office” was originally created for BBC by Gervais and Merchant, where it ran from 2001 to 2003 before Daniels adapted it for American television in 2005. The U.S. version ran for nine seasons and earned 42 Primetime Emmy Award nominations,...

Even though Dunder Mifflin will not be returning to TV, there will be little drops of The Office sprinkled throughout the follow-up series, The Paper, premiering September 4 on Peacock with four episodes. Two new episodes will follow every Thursday through September 25.

The show’s first trailer and first-look episodic photos of the cast are available above and below, respectively.

The Office is opening a new location. Sort of.

Peacock has just released the trailer for The Paper, a new series from The Office creators Greg Daniels and Michael Koman that will serve as something of a sequel to the classic Emmy-winning NBC sitcom.

What's it about?

The show marks a return to the mockumentary format that made The Office, starring Steve Carell, an Emmy-winning staple, and cleverly ties into The Office universe without rehashing old ground. As Peacock previously revealed during NBC’s Upfront presentation, the series follows the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch as they uncover a new subject: a historic Midwestern newspaper and the determined publisher trying to revive it.

Even Tom Basden is surprised by how affecting his new film is.

The Brit, who stars in and wrote The Ballad of Wallis Island with comedian Tim Key, is talking to The Hollywood Reporter about finally getting his film out in theaters in his native Britain and, oddly enough, being a little taken aback by its reception.

“We hit a few ideas early on,” he explains, referencing the short film he, Key and director James Griffiths first made about the characters all the way back in 2006. “Herb’s a little bit washed up, pining for his mid-20s, Charles has been obsessed with this band for a very long time and used to watch the gigs with his wife, who’s now died. Quite organically, a sadness began to come out on the page, a kind of longing,” Basden recalls. “It took us by surprise. And even at the point...

The Paper is created, written, and produced by The Office producer Greg Daniels alongside Michael Koman. The Office premiered in March 2005, and now it’s time for the spinoff to make its mark. Here’s everything we know about the premiere date, release schedule, and what more to expect.

Get ready for a new comedy from the creators of The Office. The upcoming show, called The Paper, moves away from the familiar paper company and puts the spotlight on an actual local newspaper struggling to survive today. It’s set to debut on Peacock on September 4, 2025.

The Paper is created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman. While it’s a follow-up to The Office, it won’t bring back the Scranton crew. Instead, it features a new group of characters in a different place, but it still takes place in the same universe. NBCUniversal shared that the show follows the documentary team from The Office as they focus their cameras on a failing Midwestern newspaper called The Truth Teller, located in Toledo, Ohio.

Get ready for another mockumentary-style comedy from the creators of The Office. A new show called The Paper is on its way, and this time the story shifts from a paper company to a paper itself, a local newspaper trying to survive in the modern world. The series is set to premiere on Peacock on September 4, 2025.

Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, The Paper is a follow-up to The Office, but it doesn’t bring back the Scranton crew. Instead, it introduces a whole new cast and a new setting, but it takes place in the same universe.

Additionally, Oscar Nuñez will reprise his role from The Office.

Welcome back, 2005 — well, kinda. NBC announced the release date for The Office spin-off series, The Paper, on Thursday, revealing a Sept. 4 premiere. The Paper will debut on NBC’s streaming service, Peacock.

The Paper finally has a premiere date. The long-awaited spinoff of The Office will begin streaming on Peacock this September.

Peacock has revealed that the first four episodes of The Paper will premiere on Sept. 4, followed by two new episodes every Thursday through Sept. 25.This means the entire 10-episode season will be rolled out in less than a month. While the binge method (a.k.a. releasing the entire season at the same time) was once a popular release method for streaming originals, in recent years, streamers like HBO Max, Prime Video, and Disney+ have gone back to the tried and true one-episode per week release pattern, with some notable exceptions like multi-episode premieres or finales. With The Office a consistent streaming hit, the decision to burn through an entire season of its highly anticipated spinoff in just one month is somewhat unusual, although Peacock likely has a reason for doing so.

The Office franchise is expanding once more, this time in the streaming world. Peacock is releasing a spin-off of the Steve Carrell-led comedy, which will now shift the focus to a struggling midwestern newspaper publication. While it was already expected to release this year, Peacock has officially unveiled when fans will be able to return to the world of The Office.

Peacock released a new poster for The Paper, which confirmed that it will premiere the first four episodes on the streamer on September 4 this year. Two episodes will then be released on a weekly basis until September 25. The show stars Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina) and Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus). The Paper was co-created by The Office's Greg Daniels alongside Michael Koman (Nathan for You). As the official synopsis suggests, The Paper sees the same documentary crew from the original series move on to find their next big story.

The day that we've all been waiting for is finally here. Peacock has announced the official premiere date for its upcoming The Office spinoff, The Paper, and it's coming really soon! We're talking just a couple of months away.

We knew that The Paper would be released sometime in September 2025. This release window was announced back in May, along with a first look at the new series. Now, we know the exact date. Drum roll, please! The Paper is scheduled to premiere on Peacock on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025. Do you know what's even more exciting? There won't be just one episode dropping on the streaming platform on this date. There will be four episodes in total! This means viewers will get an immersive, binge-worthy experience right from the start.

Following its Sept. 4 premiere, two new episodes will be released each Thursday on Peacock. This release pattern will continue every week until Sept.

There is a lot of content out there. So much that it’s easy to miss some seriously great movies and shows buried under the weekly avalanche of buzzy new releases. That’s where this list comes in. Each week, I’ll pick one under-the-radar genre gem from each of the major streamers — stuff you might’ve never heard of (and that’s exactly the point). This week’s theme? Comedy movies.

Stars: Tim Key, Tom Basden, Carey Mulligan | Written by Tim Key, Tom Basden | Directed by James Griffiths

For many, getting a favourite musician to play a private gig is a dream scenario. But as fan culture often has toxic results, it is understandable that this scenario could deliver an unsettling thriller akin to Misery or Blink Twice. The Ballad of Wallis Island instead takes a kinder approach, which leaves a massively sweet surprise for viewers.

Based on the 2007 short film, The One and Only Herb McGwyer Plays Wallis Island, the story takes place on the remote Wallis Island where eccentric lottery winner Charles Heath (Tim Key) lives alone. He has hired his favourite musician, Herb McGwyer (Tom Basden), to play an exclusive private gig. Herb intends to grin and bear it to fund his next solo album, but is surprised upon discovering that he will not be playing alone, as...

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast sees the podteam — Chris Hewitt, Helen O'Hara, James Dyer and Alex Godfrey — getting to grips with the definition of in media res as this week's listener question has the team chatting about some of their favourite films that throw you right into the action. Elsewhere, the gang talk about a busy week in the world of movie news, including Alex Garland's Elden Ring movie, Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars delays, and — in a radical deviation into Pilot TV territory — HBO Harry Potter castings and the cancellation of Amazon's The Wheel Of Time series. The team also spend some time paying tribute to Empire's founding editor Barry McIlheney, who sadly died on Monday at the age of just 65, before reviewing a whole bunch of movies: namely The Ballad Of Wallis Island, Karate Kid: Legends, Mountainhead, The Ritual, and The Salt Path.

All that,...

Plot:

Tim Key bring his trademark pleasant awkwardness to the island-owner who pays Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan to come and play for him

Fictional folk duo McGwyer Mortimer (played by Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan) were big, back in the day – the day in question being circa 2009. But they weren’t that big: not Dylan-big, not even Cat Stevens-big. They graced some NME covers, they played Glastonbury, but even at the height of their success they could definitely pop to the shops without getting mobbed. Still, you’re always Dylan-big to your biggest fans, and Charles (Tim Key) is exactly that. He’s also a reclusive lottery winner, giving him the motive and the means to stage a private reunion gig for an audience of one on a remote island.

An estranged folk duo reunite for a private gig on an eccentric millionaire’s Welsh island in a thoroughly charming almost-rom-com. Here’s our The Ballad Of Wallis Island review.

The Ballad Of Wallis Island is a film of returns.

Writer-performers Tom Basden and Tim Key (plus director James Griffiths) are returning to the short film which earned them a BAFTA nomination in 2008. Carey Mulligan is returning to the folk music scene 12 years after playing the testy half of semi-fictionalised duo Jim & Jean in the Coen Brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis. And it’s a return to the comedy once considered the British film industry’s bread and butter – a sweet, occasionally awkward three-hander afraid of neither melancholy nor jokes about Harold Shipman.

Basden plays Herb McGwyer, a down-on-his-luck musician who arrives on a remote Welsh island for a private gig. Unbeknownst to him, Tim Key’s accidental millionaire, Charles, has...

Sam Claflin has worked on several benchmark projects, including the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. However, there is one film that made Claflin a household name, and that was his 2016 tentpole, Me Before You.

Based on Jojo Moyes’s book, the film became a sensation when it was released in 2016. Perched on the crackling chemistry between the 38-year-old and Emilia Clarke, Me Before You became a box office success despite receiving mixed critical reviews.

Me Before You became quite popular among the young fans, which later inspired Netflix to acquire the Ott distribution rights of the film. However, not many years later, the streaming giant let go of the film, but let Clafin’s lower-rated film Love Wedding Repeat still stay on the platform.

Steve Carell and John Krasinski are helping to usher in the next era of “The Office.”

In a recent sit down with People, Domhnall Gleeson, who is set to star in the new “Office” spinoff series, “The Paper,” said he was encouraged by both Carell and Krasinski to join the show.

“[Krasinski] was wonderful. I mean, his big advice that he gave me was to do it,” Gleeson said. “And the same with Steve Carell, another just wonderful actor who I’d worked with before. And their advice was, if it’s [‘The Office’ creator] Greg Daniels, you should do it because getting to work with him is a treat that not many people get to have.”

The official logline for “The Paper” reads, “The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.

There’s something special about 2000s sitcoms, with relatable characters, episodic stories, and lots of laughter. The shows made our lives better to the extent that most fans love to revisit a familiar sitcom once in a while. Among them is Steve Carrell-led The Office, which has given us many lovable characters. It now has a spin-off coming soon titled The Paper, and one of the original series’ alum, John Krasinski, who played Jim, is more than willing to return.

During a recent interview, The Quiet Place actor was asked about a potential cameo in the upcoming spin-off, and he confirmed he’s down for a cameo. The Paper stars Domhnall Gleeson, who worked with Krasinski on their latest film, Fountain of Youth. When asked about the spin-off, Krasisnski shared his excitement,

“I'm excited to see what they do with it. It's such an amazing idea, and listen if Greg [Daniels] is behind it,...
