Peacock's The Office spin-off arrives this September

The Paper, a caller spin-off of The Office acceptable astatine a tiny Ohio newspaper, will premiere exclusively connected Peacock successful September, according to a post from the streaming service's X account. Considering NBCUniversal's streaming work has mostly existed arsenic a dedicated The Office and Parks & Recreation rewatch tool, this is simply a beauteous large get.

The caller bid "features the documentary unit that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch," but this clip looks astatine a antithetic manufacture — successful this case, journalism. The Paper covers "a historical Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the anxious steadfast that is trying to revive it," according to a property merchandise from NBCUniversal's Upfront presentation.

Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina) and Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus) prima alongside Oscar Nuñez, who is reprising his relation arsenic Oscar from The Office, pursuing a lateral vocation determination that finds his quality arsenic the accountant for a struggling newspaper. The Paper is precise explicitly described arsenic being "from the beingness of The Office," though, truthful it's imaginable the connections to the erstwhile bid don't extremity there.

The Paper was co-created by Greg Daniels, the creator of the US mentation of The Office, and Michael Koman, an enforcement shaper and writer connected Nathan for You. NBCUniversal hasn't shared a circumstantial day for erstwhile the bid volition premiere, beyond that it volition onshore successful September.

Like astir streaming services, Peacock launched with splashy prestige TV shows, but has continually struggled to find archetypal contented that keeps subscribers astir beyond its backmost catalog of classical sitcoms and world shows. Streaming rights to the Olympics and weird experiments similar the "AI vs. a nun" play Mrs. Davis decidedly entreaty to idiosyncratic (me, primarily), but it hasn't produced explosive maturation successful Peacock's subscriber numbers. Per NBCUniversal's last net report, Peacock has grown from 36 cardinal paid subscribers astatine the extremity of 2024 to 41 cardinal successful March 2025, but it's inactive a money-losing operation. The Paper seems similar a safer stake to support existent subscribers blessed and gully lapsed The Office fans backmost in.
