The Paper, a mockumentary from Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, is set in the same universe as NBC’s Emmy Award-winning hit series The Office, and features the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch. The crew is searching for a new subject when they discover a historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the eager publisher trying to revive it.

The first-look image, which can be seen above, was released as part of the NBCUniversal upfront presentation to advertisers on Monday in New York. Cast members Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, and Oscar Nuñez appeared onstage, where it was also revealed that the show will premiere in September. An exact premiere date will be announced at a later date.

The next series in the Office world officially has a title — and a premiere date.

The show, in which the documentary crew from The Office lands on a new subject, is called The Paper. It follows the publisher (Domhnall Gleeson) and staff of a historic but struggling newspaper in Toledo, Ohio.

The series, from former Office showrunner Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, is set to premiere in September. Peacock also released the first image from the series, which also shows Oscar Nuñez, who will reprise his role as Oscar Martinez from the earlier series.

Nuñez, Gleeson and co-star Sabrina Impacciatore appeared on stage Monday at NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation to advertisers, and Nuñez related that he talked with Daniels that post-The Office, he imagined Oscar moving to a more cosmopolitan environment.

“Greg heard me and moved Oscar to Toledo, Ohio, which has three times the population of Scranton,” Nuñez said.

At the risk of getting The Office‘s theme song stuck in your head, we come bearing new details about its upcoming spinoff, now officially titled The Paper.

Peacock announced on Monday that The Paper, an extension of the Office universe, will premiere on the streamer in September; a more exact release date has yet to be revealed.

Season 2 of The Walking Dead : Dead City kicked off with a bang this past Sunday night, continuing the adventures of sworn enemies Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in New York City. While Maggie and her son Hershel were adjusting to life in the Bricks, Negan found himself a prisoner of the Croat in Manhattan. However, thanks to a recruitment drive from the New Babylon Federation, it looks like their paths will cross again, as Maggie heads back to the city with Ginny (Mahina Napoleon) in tow. Meanwhile, Negan was reunited with another lady in his life: a new version of his barbed wire baseball bat Lucille.

Lucille wasn’t the only return that Walking Dead fans were pleased to see, as the Dead City premiere also came with a new teaser for The Walking Dead’s other spinoff series, Daryl Dixon.

Viewers haven’t seen anything...

A new teaser for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon season 3 has confirmed the release window for the upcoming episodes as Daryl and Carol's new journey begins. Daryl Dixon season 2 ended with Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) departing from France, heading through the now-derelict Chunnel that will take them to the UK. It's since been confirmed that season 3 will show the pair having a new adventure in Spain, as they continue to try and get back home to the United States.

Now, The Walking Deadhas released an official teaser for Daryl Dixon season 3, teasing what's to come as Daryl and Carol start their travels across Spain. In the trailer, Daryl reminisces about how young he was when the zombie apocalypse began. It teases a boat journey with him and Carol, while he also ends up jousting with someone using a motorcycle and a shotgun. The trailer ends by confirming...

Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) will soon resume their European voyage as a new teaser for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 has revealed a fall release window. Unveiled during the Season 2 premiere of Dead City last night, the teaser shows the resilient duo back on the road, continuing their arduous journey towards the Commonwealth. After facing and surviving fresh threats in France in Season 2, the pair completed The Book of Carol arc. Season 3 will see their post-apocalyptic odyssey take another unexpected turn as they somehow find themselves in Spain, despite initially setting a course for England.

Though brief, the teaser offers a glimpse at new potential allies and enemies for Daryl and Carol. It opens with a haggard Daryl staggering alone across a desert landscape which is obviously in Spain. “I was pretty young when all this started,” he says in a voiceover. “Now, what we do is run and fight.

The Walking Dead has been around a long time. Granted, the original series has been off the air for close to three years, but the franchise is still alive and well, with multiple spinoffs carrying on the story of some of the Twd Universe's main characters - showing us all that there is life after death.

15 years and counting is a long time for the franchise to be on the air. It has battled rot of its own throughout the decade and a half that it's been on screens but it's still finding new ways to reinvent itself, with Dead City taking Maggie and Negan to New York City and Daryl Dixon taking Daryl and Carol to France.

Now, the franchise looks to explore new uncharted territory by giving us all something we have wanted to see for years.

Nearly two decades after its debut, The Office (U.S.) continues to dominate pop culture, and much of its lasting appeal can be traced to one man, that is Steve Carell. Though the series began as an adaptation of the British original created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, it quickly surpassed the original.

According to the show’s creators and cast, the American version succeeded because of Carell’s performance as Michael Scott. True to say, the character could’ve easily been unwatchable, but became one of television’s best-worst bosses. And as someone who helped shape the show, Michael Schur knows exactly what made The Office (U.S.) outgrow its British predecessor.

The modern era of Hollywood only has a handful of true movie stars. The definition of the role has changed fundamentally over the years as the studio system morphed and shifted, and as a result, the amount of undeniably bankable stars the studios actually want to invest in has dwindled. But in the small handful that still remains, Florence Pugh shines as one of the brightest and best movie stars we have today.

She is absolutely fearless in front of the camera, and her taste in roles supports her obvious drive to find the most exciting and challenging ways to build her craft. Though her career has been, realistically, quite short so far, Pugh has already established herself as a risk-taker, and because of that, audiences are excited to show up when she makes the choice to lend her skills to a project. Honestly, she's rarely in something that doesn't deserve high praise.

Florence Pugh recently talked about her experience of playing Paige in Fighting With My Family, a movie based on Paige’s journey to becoming the youngest female wrestler to win the WWE World Championship. The film, written and directed by Stephen Merchant, was released on February 14, 2019, and produced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, a big name in both WWE and Hollywood.

Florence shared how challenging it was to portray Paige in a wrestling movie and explained that not meeting Paige in real life during filming actually helped her play the role better than if she had met her.

Paul Feigis an accomplished director. He brought us A Simple Favor, and now, with its sequel, Another Simple Favor, coming out soon, Feig has been reflecting on his long and varied career. During a recent Q&a following Collider's early screening of Another Simple Favor, Feig spoke to Steve Weintraub about his time on The Office, reflecting on the comedic magic that's made it one of television's most beloved sitcoms. Feig has a long history of directing some iconic episodes of television. He worked on Arrested Development and directed 19 episodes of The Office, including "Goodbye, Michael," which was the last episode that Steve Carell's Michael Scott was a series regular.

During their conversation, Feig talked about the streaming life of the show and how fans continue to interact with the series. Based on an original sitcom from the United Kingdom created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the...

As The Office celebrates its 20th anniversary, it’s hard to imagine the TV landscape without it. Before it became a cultural juggernaut, Michael Schur was convinced that making the show would be a terrible idea. In fact, Schur was so sure that it wouldn’t work that he almost passed on the opportunity to join the project.

What changed his mind? One unexpected meeting with co-creator Greg Daniels completely changed Schur’s perspective. That pivotal meeting with Daniels later shaped Schur’s career and changed the course of television history. Here’s how one strange meeting led to the creation of a cultural phenomenon.

It’s been more than a decade since audiences said farewell to The Officeand the workers at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, and 20 years since the show first premiered on NBC. A spinoff, reportedly titled The Paper,has been in the works at Peacock, and now one former Office star confirms that he will be part of the new cast.

Per Entertainment Weekly, Oscar Nuñez, appearing on the Todayshow with fellow The Office castmate, Angela Kinsey, confirmed that he will reprise his role as Oscar Martínez for the new series. The new show will feature the same “mocumentary” feel with the same documentary crew that filmed the workers at Dunder Mifflin. However, in the new show, the crew will follow the workers at a struggling midwestern newspaper.

“They’re still editing and stuff,”Nuñez said. “It’s very, very exciting.”In February, it was rumored that Nuñez would be back for the reboot.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a police procedural workplace comedy series created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur. The Fox and, later on, the NBC series is set in New York City.

In 2015, there's countless more channels that existed in those days, but even with an endless amount of content to watch at any given moment, many viewers always find themselves drawn back to one particular modern classic: "The Office."

"The Office" originated in the UK, created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and starring the former as the insensitive Gm of a paper company. The mockumentary sitcom was adapted for American audiences on NBC in 2005, swapping out Gervais for Steve Carell, then known for his work on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." The show also boasted a supporting cast including future Hollywood icons like John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, and Mindy Kaling.

Isn’t it hoot how a show about the most unassuming of jobs—a paper company, no less—could become a touchstone of popular culture? As we sit here pondering its profound impact, we can’t help but recall Jim Halpert’s poignant line in The Office: “Everything I have I owe to this job—this stupid, wonderful, boring, amazing job.”

Ah, the irony! That’s the sweet spot that makes this NBC classic more than just a comedy—it’s a masterclass in paradox. It captured the beauty of life’s dullest routines, where we see ourselves reflected in the quirky, often maddening characters who spend their days at Dunder Mifflin or Wernham Hogg.

Who knew that a show about staplers, cubicles, and passive-aggressive pranks could become a profound meditation on human connection, vulnerability, and purpose? It wasn’t just a comedy—it was our comedy,...

Twenty years ago, NBC premiered a new sitcom based on a hit U.K. series. The Office debuted on March 24, 2005, and was not an immediate hit in its initial six-episode run. The show struggled to find its footing out of the block, with several episodes virtually xeroxed from the storylines of its British predecessor created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and transplanted, often clunkily, to Scranton, Pa. But soon enough showrunner Greg Daniels found his groove and leaned into the strengths of his formidable ensemble, led by Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, and Rainn Wilson.

The Office would go on to become a must-see TV staple, running nine seasons and earning five Emmys in 42 nominations — and then becoming a hit all over again as a new generation rediscovered and binged The Office when it hit streaming. Until 2023, The Office held the record as most-streamed series, with more than 57 billion minutes watched.

On March 24, 2005, NBC aired the first episode of The Office, an American remake of the universally acclaimed, Golden Globe-winning BBC comedy of the same name. The premiere, a mockumentary that introduced the staff of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company’s branch in Scranton, Pennsylvania, pulled in a decent-sized audience that night. It drew 11.2 million viewers following an episode of The Apprentice — but even with that start, expectations for the show were not high.

NBC had produced a pilot for The Office, written by King of the Hill co-creator Greg Daniels, in early 2004, just after Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s BBC show won the Golden Globe for best comedy and Gervais took home the award for best actor in a comedy. The network ordered the show to series that spring but picked up only five more episodes. After premiering on a Thursday, the remaining episodes ran on Tuesday nights, where it struggled.

The Office debuted on NBC 20 years ago on March 24th, 2005, and American television hasn’t been the same ever since. While it may have been inspired by the British version from creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, The Office has certainly made its mark as it continues to entertain viewers decades after it premiered. But what was the experience like behind the scenes? Former star Craig Robinson got candid about his audition story with TV Insider in-studio as he reflected on his process. NBC / Peacock “I got the audition through my agent manager and… there were like 12 people in the room and Greg Daniels, who adapted The Office for American television,” Robinson recalls, painting a picture of the day. “He was at the head, of the group,” Robinson adds, “And at the time I had a video out with Jerry Minor and this video was called ‘Somebody’s F***ing...

More than a decade later, the American remake of "The Office" endures thanks to its popularity on streaming services, the vast amount of memes and GIFs from the show you can find, and the upcoming spin-off about a Midwestern newspaper set in the world of the show and featuring (at least) Oscar Nunez as his character from Dunder-Mifflin Scranton. Add to that the "Office Ladies" podcast, hosted by Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey, and the idea of people within the show having preferred episodes makes a lot of sense. Although some people can debate the quality of the show's final two seasons, it's at least safe to say that when Steve Carell departed near the end of its seventh season to pursue his film career and leave the star-making role of Michael Scott behind, the show changed quite a lot.

Carell, as you might expect, has a personal favorite episode...

This week marks the 20th anniversary of The Office, the groundbreaking NBC sitcom that redefined workplace comedy and launched the careers of several cast members. Since the show’s debut on March 24, 2005, many of its stars have gone on to successful careers in television and film, earning critical acclaim and industry recognition — but the ensemble surprisingly did not have the greatest success when it came to Emmy Awards.

Leading man Steve Carell starred as Michael Scott, the endearingly incompetent regional manager of the Scranton branch of paper company Dunder Mifflin. He received six Emmy nominations for Best Comedy Actor during his time on The Office and four Best Comedy Series nominations as part of the show’s creative team, which included creator Greg Daniels, who developed the series from the original U.K. version created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Carell then returned to the Emmys in 2020 when he...

So far, there is only one character who appears in every season of The White Lotus — Greg, who is now going by Gary in Season 3. We know Greg as the scheming and downright murderous former husband to the beloved Tanya McQuoid (the legendary Jennifer Coolidge). In Season 1, he weaseled his way into her heart. In Season 2, he bailed on her in Italy but secretly arranged for her murder. In Season 3, we find him living in Thailand at a house near the White Lotus resort, dating a "model" (the delightful Charlotte Le Bon). When another character from Season 1, Tanya's potential business partner Belinda (the hilarious Natasha Rothwell), shows up at the Thailand White Lotus resort and recognizes Greg, she begins to fear for her own life.

Greg/Gary is a scary jerk, probably the most explicitly villainous character in Mike White's show, but he's played by an extremely funny man — Jon Gries.

Brian Baumgartner was a beloved part of NBC's The Office, portraying the fan-favorite character of Kevin Malone. Despite the character remaining popular with fans a decade after the show's conclusion, Baumgartner isn't sure if Kevin will appear in the forthcoming spinoff series.

Speaking with Screen Rant to discuss his recent appearance on Suits LA, in which he wanted lawyer Erica Rollins to "kill Kevin Malone," Baumgartner addressed a possible return to The Office universe for the spinoffnow that it's been confirmed that his former co-star Oscar Nunez will be back as Oscar Martínez. "Uh, That's interesting... I don't know what the rules are there in the new show, or where Greg [Daniels] sees Kevin," the actor stated. "I hope Kevin's still working at the bar right around the corner from Dunder Mifflin. I hope he's still there, so I don't know about a trip to the Midwest, or who...

More than a year ago it was revealed that Greg Daniels is working on ideas for a possible follow-up to The Office called The Paper. The new series, which will stream on Peacock, will focus on the documentary crew from the original show as they find a new subject—a struggling historic newspaper in the Midwest.

The story will follow the publisher’s efforts to bring it back to life with the help of volunteer reporters.

Daniels will serve as an executive producer alongside Michael Koman, Howard Klein, Ben Silverman, and The Office creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. However, Steve Carell, who played Michael Scott, has confirmed that he will not be returning for the new series.

The main cast of the show includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Melvin Gregg, Chelsea Frei, Ramona Young, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Tim Key, and Eric Rahill. Recurring cast members feature Duane Shepard Sr.,...

When the U.S. version of The Office premiered on NBC 20 years ago, the reaction was rather muted, to put it charitably. The shadow of the original U.K. series created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant loomed very large, and the NBC pilot was almost a shot-for-shot remake of their first episode, with Steve Carell taking over the lead role from Gervais. “The insurmountable problem for this version may prove to be Carell himself,” wrote USA Today. “He’s an amusing sketch comic, but he comes across as an actor doing a bit,...

The Office is a mockumentary that documents the lives of office workers at Wernham Hogg. Who'd have thought a Clint Eastwood movie would have inspired part of the storyline? The series was first made in 2001 by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and became a key component to the creators' and actors' careers. The show won a Golden Globe Award for Best Television series: Musical or Comedy. The core plot line focuses on David Brent's desperate need to be popular, whilst other subplots often take center stage. Tim and Dawn's friendship-turned-romance being one of them and one of the best at that.

The two characters had undeniable chemistry. When audiences meet them, they've already built a strong friendship.

The Office remains one of the most successful shows in TV history. The series ran for nine seasons, started careers for actors like Steve Carell and John Krasinski, and popularized the mockumentary style of sitcoms. It even achieved a record for most streamed minutes in a year in 2020 with viewers watching for 57.1 billion minutes, only to be toppled by Suits three years later.

It came as no surprise then when Peacock, where the series currently resides, announced a sequel to The Office. The upcoming show, titled The Paper, won't exactly be a direct sequel, moving away from the paper-selling offices of Dunder Mifflin with brand-new characters. However, there are plenty of reasons for fans to be excited, with beloved The Office characters returning and The Paper retaining the humor that made the original series so memorable.

“The Office” star Oscar Nuñez will appear in the upcoming Peacock spinoff series.

Nuñez will reprise his beloved role as Oscar Martinez in the new mockumentary series, which is set in the same universe as “The Office,” an individual with knowledge told TheWrap, though additional details about the storyline involving Nuñez are being kept under wraps.

It’s unknown how heavily Nuñez will be featured in the new series, but he joins the ensemble cast alongside “About Time” star Domhnall Gleeson and “The White Lotus” Season 2 breakout Sabrina Impacciatore. Additional announced cast members includes Chelsea Frei (“Poker Face”), Melvin Gregg (“American Vandal”), Gbemisola Ikumelo (“Black Ops”), Alex Edelman (“Just For Us”), Ramona Young (“Never Have I Ever”) and Tim Key (“The Witchfinder.”)

The new series, which is likely to be titled, “The Paper,” will see the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch find their new subject in...

The connection between The Office and its follow-up series at Peacock has become more concrete.

Oscar Nuñez, who played accountant Oscar Martinez throughout The Office’s run, will reprise his character in the Peacock series. Like its predecessor, the show is a mockumentary in which the documentary crew that filmed at Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch for years takes on a new project, following the publisher and staff of a historic but struggling Midwestern newspaper.

When The Office ended in 2013, Nuñez’s character was running for a state Senate seat in Pennsylvania while continuing to work at Dunder Mifflin. Details of how Oscar fits into the new series are being kept quiet for now — though Nuñez has been involved from the start (his casting was first reported by The Insneider newsletter). Greg Daniels, who created both shows (along with Michael Koman for the Peacock show), has said in the past...

Oscar Nuñez will reprise his The Office role of “Oscar Martinez” in the Peacock follow up series known as Untitled Greg Daniels/Michael Koman Project, Deadline has confirmed.

Rumored to be called The Paper, the new mockumentary series is set in the same universe as NBC’s Emmy Award-winning hit series The Office.

Nuñez is the first actor from the original series confirmed to be participating in the Daniels/Koman series. We understand the show will not be centered around Oscar, an accountant at Dunder Mifflin (or any one character), but he is one of the characters in the show and was involved from the start.

The Paper reintroduces the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch as they search for a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.

Oscar Nuñez will return as Oscar Martinez in Peacock’s follow-up series to “The Office,” Variety has confirmed.

Sources say Nuñez will not be the central character in the upcoming mockumentary sitcom — which takes place in the same universe as “The Office” — as it is an ensemble series. But he is part of the show’s character mix, and has been in the opening script from the beginning.

There are no further details regarding Oscar’s role or storyline in the new show, which Greg Daniels is creating and executive producing with Michael Korman (“Nathan For You”).

As of now, Nuñez is believed to be the only “Office” cast member who will appear in the follow-up series (right now still referred to as the “Untitled Daniels/Korman Project”) — but it has been noted that since it lives in the world of “The Office,” there was always a chance that characters...

More than a year ago it was revealed that Greg Daniels is working on ideas for a possible follow-up to The Office called The Paper. The new series, which will stream on Peacock, will focus on the documentary crew from the original show as they find a new subject—a struggling historic newspaper in the Midwest.

The story will follow the publisher’s efforts to bring it back to life with the help of volunteer reporters.

Daniels will serve as an executive producer alongside Michael Koman, Howard Klein, Ben Silverman, and The Office creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. However, Steve Carell, who played Michael Scott, has confirmed that he will not be returning for the new series.

The main cast of the show includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Melvin Gregg, Chelsea Frei, Ramona Young, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Tim Key, and Eric Rahill. Recurring cast members feature Duane Shepard Sr.,...

The British mockumentary sitcom The Office remains one of the most influential comedies ever produced. Not only did the series enjoy a stellar three-season run which culminated in an 8.5 IMDb rating, it also inspired a range of spinoffs, including the Steve Carrell version.

Though it only lasted for two seasons (2001–2003), the show catapulted its cast to stardom, and produced a range of superstars. Over two decades later, let’s take a look at where the actors are in 2025.

Quick LinksMichael Scott is a Worse Boss than David BrentAudiences Had Longer to Get to Love MichaelDavid Just Needed Someone to Understand Him

Cards on the table, I love David Brent and Michael Scott. Both UK and US versions of The Office were led by iconic sitcom characters, written and acted to a standard that few others can achieve. So, when I say that either one isn't particularly nice at some points, that doesn't mean I think they're badly created characters. In reality, I think their downsides make them relatable and more human. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's UK series was the original and it reinvented the mockumentary genre, thrusting the mundane, everyday work life into the spotlight to make it something extraordinary. Although I was too young to watch when it first came out, I've heard other people say that watching the show upon its release was baffling.

NBC has a long list of amazing shows to its credit. From dramas to comedies to some of the most watched police procedurals, the network is a powerhouse amongst its competitors.

Peacock is the streaming service from NBCUniversal, which features the network's movies and shows but also features many third-party providers, and has an incredible list of titles within its catalog.

Warwick Davis, the British actor who has played various roles in the Star Wars franchise, got a tribute from Luke Skywalker himself as he was garlanded with BAFTA’s highest honor.

Mark Hamill described Davis as “one of the hardest working men in showbusiness” as he received the Fellowship prize at the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday.

Hamill joked that Davis has more Star Wars credits than himself and that he followed up the mega-franchise with another in the shape of Harry Potter.

Davis was celebrated by BAFTA for his prolific career and role in creating a more inclusive screen industry. George Lucas was among others who paid tribute to Davis, saying he was a “great actor.”

An emotional Davis, who unexpectedly lost his wife last year, thanked his loved ones — including his children — for helping him learn to “laugh and love again.” He joked: “This is one of the...

Growing up in England, I have a very distinct memory of when "The Office" first debuted on the BBC. My dad saw it first and loved it, not only because it was undeniably hilarious, but because he said he knew two or three guys from his own office that acted almost exactly like Ricky Gervais' David Brent. As a recovering office administrator myself, I could also see that Gervais and co-creator Stephen Merchant had absolutely nailed the quietly oppressive fluorescent hellscape of the modern office, and populated it with characters that felt like perfect analogues for every colleague I'd ever had.

As such, the show felt like a hinge moment in TV history. It was a new form of comedy that recognized the inherent absurdity in modern life, and let its humor arise from simply allowing its characters to be themselves. It was so startlingly accurate in its depiction of...
