The Paper (2025): A New Chapter from the World of The Office

"Same lens. New story. Different kind of chaos."


From the creators of The OfficeĀ comes the next workplace comedy obsession — with more ink, fewer memos, and just as much dysfunction.Ā The Paper, a brand-new mockumentary sitcom created by Greg DanielsĀ and Michael Koman, is set to hit PeacockĀ on September 4, 2025, promising sharp satire, lovable oddballs, and that signature deadpan charm.

Get ready for a newsroom revival… if they can survive each other first.


šŸ—žļø Premise: Breaking News, Broken People


Set in Toledo, Ohio, The PaperĀ follows the Truth Teller, a once-iconic but now-dwindling local newspaper barely hanging on. Enter a new documentary crew — yes, the same one that filmed Dunder Mifflin Scranton — looking for their next compelling subject. What they find is a chaotic crew of volunteer reporters, one overly passionate publisher, and a newsroom teetering between legacy and irrelevance.

"We're not just printing the news… we’re resurrecting it. Sort of."

Between clashes over clickbait, outdated printers, and existential crises about journalism in the digital age, The PaperĀ delivers a fresh look at modern work, media, and identity — with laugh-out-loud results.


šŸ–„ļø Main Cast: Meet the New Misfits


This diverse and delightfully dysfunctional ensemble fills the newsroom with awkward charm and witty banter:


  • šŸŽ¬ Domhnall GleesonĀ as the paper’s beleaguered publisher

  • šŸ“° Sabrina Impacciatore

  • šŸ“Ž Chelsea Frei
