From Scranton to Toledo, there's a lot to love about The Paper for fans of the mega-hit NBC comedy The Office. The Peacock original series is set in "the universe of The Office," only this time the documentary crew that followed the Dunder Mifflin team has their sight set on a small-town newspaper, the Toledo Truth-Teller, struggling to stay alive in the age of online media.
Though the setup is different, there will be at least one familiar face from the flagship series as Oscar Nuñez returns, only this time he's the accountant for the same documentary team that followed him around at Dunder Mifflin.
The spinoff was created by Greg Daniels (who created the US version of The Office) and Michael Koman (co-creator of Nathan for You). Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who co-created the UK version of The Office, are also executive producers.
Here's everything we know about The Paper, including a first-look image from the show below.
