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 Office comes the next workplace comedy obsession â with more ink, fewer memos, and just as much dysfunction. The Paper, a brand-new mockumentary sitcom created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, is set to hit Peacock 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.
đïž Premise: Breaking News, Broken People
Set in Toledo, Ohio, The Paper follows the Truth Teller, a once-iconic but now-dwindling local newspaper barely hanging on. Enter a new documentary crew â yes, the same one that filmed Dunder Mifflin Scranton â 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⊠weâre resurrecting it. Sort of."
Between clashes over clickbait, outdated printers, and existential crises about journalism in the digital age, The Paper delivers a fresh look at modern work, media, and identity â with laugh-out-loud results.

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