The Paper: How The Office’s New Spinoff Series Brings Fresh Life to Workplace Comedy
A New Chapter in The Office Universe
The Office universe is expanding with its latest spinoff series ‘The Paper’, which follows Dunder Mifflin’s Oscar in his new workplace – The Toledo Truth-Teller, a struggling regional newspaper that shares its office space with a toilet paper company.
The series centres around Ned Sampson, a successful toilet paper division salesman who, despite having no journalism experience since college, is tasked with a challenging new role as editor-in-chief. His mission? To save the company’s small market newspaper in Toledo.
Star-Studded Cast and Creative Team
The series brings together an impressive ensemble cast led by Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore, with Oscar Nunez reprising his role as Oscar Martinez from The Office. The cast also includes notable talents such as Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, and Ramona Young.
Behind the scenes, the show is in capable hands with Greg Daniels (the creator of the American version of The Office) and Michael Koman (co-creator of Nathan for You) serving as co-creators, writers, and executive producers. Adding to the creative firepower, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, co-creators of the original British version of The Office, are on board as executive producers.
Critical Reception and Future
The series has already made waves in the industry, maintaining an impressive 83% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 76 critic reviews. In a show of confidence, Peacock has already renewed ‘The Paper’ for a second season, even before its premiere.
Set in Toledo, Ohio, the series chronicles the daily chaos at The Truth Teller as the paper’s publisher attempts to keep the presses running by recruiting volunteer reporters. The show captures the familiar blend of dysfunction, awkwardness, and heart that made The Office a cultural phenomenon, while exploring the challenges of traditional media in the digital age.
All 10 episodes of The Paper will be released on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at 3 a.m. on Peacock, coinciding with the streamer’s NFL kickoff game between the Cowboys and the Eagles.
