The Office fans, rejoice — the inaugural look at its highly anticipated spinoff, The Paper, has been unveiled at last. The series premieres on Peacock in September 2025, offering up a new shot of workplace comedy with a whole new cast and location.
The Paper changes from Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton office to a flailing Midwestern local paper, addressing the mayhem of print media in the age of the internet. In classic Office fashion, it’s filmed in mockumentary style and packed with offbeat characters, deadpan humor, and cringe-inducing office repartee.
Peacock hyped The Paper as a crown jewel of its scripted slate at the recent upfronts, creating significant buzz among advertisers and fans alike. Though not a straightforward sequel, the series is within the same universe and will have periodic references to the original series, with word of surprise cameos already circulating.
With The Office still basking in cult status years after its finale, the anticipation is high for The Paper. Whether it will meet the mark of stellar expectations remains to be seen this year — but until then, at least fans can look forward as the first teaser shots roll out.
