The cutthroat world of tabloid journalism is set to explode onto our screens in Sky's highly anticipated new drama, 'The Paper'. Headlining the cast is acclaimed Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars, The Revenant), who takes on the role of a determined editor navigating the relentless pressure of a 24-hour news cycle.
Produced by the same award-winning team behind the original UK version of The Office, this series promises a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at the adrenaline-fuelled chase for the front page. The narrative centres on a breaking scandal with the power to topple the government, following the journalists as they grapple with tight deadlines, complex sources, and fierce internal competition.
A Stellar Cast Behind the Headlines
Gleeson is joined by a powerhouse ensemble of British acting talent. BAFTA winner Ben Whishaw (This is Going to Hurt) and the immensely talented Sarah Niles (Ted Lasso, I May Destroy You) round out the main cast, bringing depth and intensity to the newsroom's dynamic characters.
The series aims to peel back the glossy veneer of published headlines, exposing the raw, often chaotic human drama that unfolds before a story goes to print. It's a world of moral ambiguity, where the quest for truth often clashes with the hunger for clicks and circulation.
From The Office to The Newsroom
With its pedigree in creating critically acclaimed, character-driven comedy-drama, the production team is perfectly poised to deliver a sharp, authentic, and darkly humorous take on modern media. 'The Paper' is not just another newsroom story; it’s a deep dive into the very heart of contemporary journalism and the people who live by the headline.
Prepare for a tense, thought-provoking, and utterly compelling series. 'The Paper' is coming soon to Sky Max and streaming service NOW, promising to be one of the most talked-about television events of the year.
