What is The Officespinoff about?
Even though this new show is set in the same universe as The Office, we aren't going back to Scranton, Pennsylvania. Instead, we'll be heading to Toledo, Ohio, following The Office's pivotal (yet mostly unseen) documentary crew on their next project. In a press release issued by Peacock, the series logline reads:

Are any The Office characters returning for The Paper?
Yes! At NBCUniversal's 2025 upfront presentation, The Office star Oscar Nuñez revealed that he would be reprising his role as Oscar Martinez in The Paper. As of May 12, 2025, he is the only confirmed returning Dunder Mifflin character. It's fitting that at least one person who worked at a paper company winds up in a show called The Paper, right?
Who else stars in The Paper?
Domhnall Gleeson (About Time, Ex Machina) and Sabrina Impacciatore(The White Lotus) both star in The Paper. Gleeson plays Ned, the publisher who turns to volunteer reporters.
The pair lead an ensemble cast that includes Martinez, as well as Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key.
Is there a trailer for The Paper?
