NBC has officially confirmed a new spin-off series from the world of 'The Office (US)', titled 'The Paper'. The show will follow a struggling local newspaper in a Midwestern state, with the same documentary crew that covered Dunder Mifflin returning to chronicle the story.
The series is set to premiere on Peacock in September 2025. A UK broadcaster has not yet been announced, but given the popularity of 'The Office (US)' in Britain, a deal is expected.
Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore star as co-leads, with Impacciatore playing the managing editor and Gleeson as a new reporter. Oscar Nuñez reprises his role as Oscar, now working as the paper's accountant. The supporting cast includes Melvin Gregg, Chelsea Frei, Ramona Young, Gbemisola Ikumelo, and Tim Key.
The official synopsis reads: 'The documentary crew that immortalised 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.' The show is set in the same universe but is expected to tell an independent story.
