The first trailer for The Paper has been released ahead of The Office spinoff’s arrival on Peacock in September. The series sees the same fictional camera crew that followed the workers of Dunder Mifflin now in Toledo, Ohio. The new mockumentary focuses on the staffers of a historic Midwestern newspaper, the ‘Toledo Truth-Teller.’ This newspaper is led by a publisher who is trying to bring it back to life… with a team of volunteer reporters. While most of the characters of The Paper are brand new, there is one familiar face that returns from The Office... much to his dismay.
The first four episodes of The Paper will be arriving on Peacock on September 2nd. This will be followed by two new episodes every Thursday through September 25. Check out the trailer here:
The Paper has a star-studded ensemble cast.
