The Office Spinoff ‘The Paper’ Drops All Episodes on Peacock
Fans of The Office have something new to get excited about this fall, and it’s arriving sooner than expected in binge-worthy fashion. Peacock has announced that The Paper , a spinoff series set in the same universe as the iconic mockumentary, will release its entire first season at once on September 4. Originally, the plan was for four episodes to debut on premiere day, followed by weekly installments. But now, viewers will be able to watch all ten episodes straight through, just like the way many fans rediscovered The Office years after it aired.
So what exactly is The Paper about? The show centers on Ned Sampson, played by Domhnall Gleeson, who takes on the role of editor-in-chief at a struggling local newspaper in Toledo, Ohio called the Truth Teller . Ned isn’t stepping into an easy job—the local media world is crumbling, staff morale is low, and the odds are stacked against him. But, true to the spirit of workplace comedies, he rallies a quirky, mismatched group of employees who bring their own chaos and humor to the newsroom.

And here’s where the connection to The Office really comes in. Just like Dunder Mifflin’s story was told through the lens of a documentary crew, The Paper is filmed in the same mockumentary style. The very same unseen crew that once followed Michael Scott and the Scranton branch has now shifted its focus to the newsroom in Toledo. That link gives the series a familiar tone, while still allowing it to carve out a fresh story.
Oscar Nuñez, beloved for his role as accountant Oscar Martinez in the original Office , will be reprising that character in The Paper . While the show won’t revolve around him, his presence helps tie the spinoff directly back to its roots. Alongside him, the cast includes Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key. Guest stars will pop up throughout the season, including Tracy Letts, Molly Ephraim, and Nancy Lenehan.
Behind the camera, the show is stacked with talent as well. The Paper was co-created by Greg Daniels, who adapted the U.S. version of The Office , and Michael Koman, known for Nathan for You . Executive producers also include Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the original creators of the British Office . The season’s episodes will be directed by a lineup of familiar names, including Daniels himself, Ken Kwapis, Paul Lieberstein—who fans know as Toby from The Office —and Jennifer Celotta.
By shifting to a binge model, Peacock is leaning into how audiences often like to consume comedies today—devouring entire seasons in a weekend. It also gives the series a chance to grab attention before the fall TV season gets crowded. For fans, this means no waiting, no cliffhanger breaks, and the freedom to dive right into Toledo’s newsroom drama.
So mark September 4 on your calendar— The Paper is about to hit Peacock, and all ten episodes will be ready to stream. Whether you loved The Office the first time around or binge-watched it years later, this spinoff looks set to deliver a familiar yet fresh workplace comedy fix.
