The Office spin-off The Paper gets fall release date

Peacock has announced the premiere of The Paper, a new spin-off of The Office, debuting September 4, 2025.

The series will launch with four episodes, followed by two new episodes weekly through September 25.

Set in the same mockumentary universe as The Office, The Paper shifts the focus from Dunder Mifflin to The Toledo Truth Teller, a struggling local newspaper in Ohio.

The show follows the original documentary crew as they begin covering the paper’s revival efforts, led by a group of volunteer reporters and staff.

Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, the series blends new characters with familiar faces. Oscar Nuñez reprises his role as Oscar Martinez, now working as the paper’s accountant.

The cast is led by Domhnall Gleeson as a new employee and Sabrina Impacciatore as the managing editor. Additional cast members include Melvin Gregg, Chelsea Frei, Ramona Young, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, and Tim Key.

While Steve Carell will not return as Michael Scott, John Krasinski has expressed interest in a potential cameo.

The Paper is produced by Universal Television in association with Peacock. Executive producers include Greg Daniels, Michael Koman, Ricky Gervais, and Stephen Merchant.

The Paper continues the mockumentary tradition, bringing the format into the world of local journalism with a new cast and setting.
