Peacock on Thursday released a trailer for The Paper, a mockumentary set in the same world as The Office (and featuring Oscar Nuñez reprising his role as Oscar Martinez) that finds the crew that filmed Dunder Mifflin taking its cameras to Toledo, Ohio, and following the staff of the Truth-Teller, a newspaper that has been around for more than 100 years but is now apparently an afterthought for its owner, which also sells toilet paper and toilet seat covers.

Farrell Boards Cricket Comedy 'Strikers' as Showrunner (Exclusive) Into that situation walks Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson), who's determined to restore the paper to its former glory. He doesn't have money to pay reporters, however, so he recruits volunteers from the paper's existing non-editorial staff while the documentary crew follows his efforts - much to Oscar's dismay. Watch the trailer below. Greg Daniels, who created the American Office and was its showrunner for several seasons, and Michael Koman (Nathan for You) created the series, which Peacock ordered to series in May 2024. Daniels said much of the crew that worked on The Office will also work on The Paper. The first season's director lineup includes several Office alumni, including Ken Kwapis, Paul Lieberstein, Jennifer Celotta, Matt Sohn, Dave Rogers and Jeffrey Blitz. Yana Gorskaya, Tazbah Chavez and Jason Woliner also helmed episodes. The Paper's cast also includes Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young and Tim Key. Duane Shepard Sr., Allan Havey, Nate Jackson, Mo Welch, Nancy Lenehan, Molly Ephraim and Tracy Letts will have guest roles. Ikumelo, Edelman, Rahill and Welch are also writers on the series. Universal Television produces The Paper. Daniels (via his Deedle-Dee Productions) and Koman executive produce with The Office creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein, Ben Silverman and Banijay Americas. The Paper's 10-episode season will premiere with four episodes on Sept. 4, with two episodes streaming each week after that through Sept. 25.
