Peacock’s mockumentary follow-up to The Office officially has a release date. Titled The Paper, the new series will debut its first four episodes on Sept. 4, followed by two new episodes every Thursday through Sept. 25, per Variety. Unlike The Office, which followed the daily hijinks of a ragtag group of employees at a paper sales company named Dunder Mifflin, The Paper will be set in a Midwestern newsroom trying to revive its status. The spinoff’s official logline reads: “The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.” The series’ ensemble cast includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key. Oscar Nuñez, who played Oscar Martinez in the original Office series, will also be reprising his role in the spinoff and is slated to play an accountant for the paper.
