Grab your bears, your beets, and your Battlestar Galactica because a spinoff of The Office is on its way! It's been more than 10 years since we said goodbye to Michael, Dwight, Jim, and Pam, and we'll be saying hello to a new cast of characters soon. This spinoff of our favorite comfort show won't be a reboot in the typical sense — even though it's within the same universe as the OG, it'll feature a brand new cast of characters.
Here's everything you need to know about the new The Office revival, The Paper, coming to Peacock soon.
Where can I watch The Paper show?
The Paper is coming to Peacock September 4, 2025, and the premiere will feature the first four episodes.
How many episodes will there be in The Paper?

Peacock
The Paper will have 10 episodes, and even though the original plan was to air new episodes every week until September 25, the whole season is now dropping on September 4. That means you can watch the ending 3 weeks early!
What is The Paper about?
We finally have plot details for the new The Office show! According to the official logline, the series will follow the same fictional documentary crew behind the show-within-the-show: “The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.”
While The Office was about a paper company, The Paper will follow the ways in which the internet has affected a local newspaper called The Truth Teller in Toledo, Ohio. "There’s a tremendous history for local papers," Greg Daniels told The Hollywood Reporter. "The villain here is the internet and the ability to look at everybody’s news for free, and all the ad revenue going to Google."

The Paper cast includes at least one member of the OG The Office cast: Oscar Nuñez! “I told Mr. Greg Daniels that if Oscar came back, he would probably be living in a more bustling, cosmopolitan city,” the actor revealed at NBCUniversal’s Upfront (via Entertainment Weekly). “Greg heard me and he moved Oscar to Toledo, Ohio — which has three times the population of Scranton. So, it was nice to be heard."
Here's the full The Paper cast!
- Domhnall Gleeson as Ned
- Sabrina Impacciatore as Esmerelda
- Oscar Nuñez as Oscar
- Gbemisola Ikumelo as Adelola
- Melvin Gregg
- Chelsea Frei
- Ramona Young
- Alex Edelman
- Tim Key
Will Greg Daniels return to write for the new The Office?
Yes, Variety confirmed that Greg is leading the creative team alongside Michael Koman. Chatting about a The Office reboot with Collider in 2022, Daniels was admittedly apprehensive.
“[The Office] was such a wonderful and rare experience that obviously you don't want to just go back to it and kind of possibly disappoint people when right now, they couldn't be happier about it,” he says in the interview. “I can't tell whether fans would want more of it, and when I say more of it, I don't think it would be the same characters. I think it would just be sort of like an extension of the universe, you know what I mean, like the way [The] Mandalorian is like an extension of Star Wars. But I don't know if that would be something people would want or not, it's hard to tell.”
What do people think about The Office reboot news?

NBC
The TV show, which ran for nine whole seasons, undoubtedly has a cult following, but not everyone is thrilled about a possible remake. “Please just stop with the reboots/remakes,” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “I’m tired.”
“A reboot of a remake lord help us,” someone else said.
Based on fans’ reactions, it seems like they’re ready for newer, fresher shows and movies after the strike in Hollywood, rather than investing in all-too-familiar plot lines. Plenty of people will be thrilled to see the Scranton paper company back on screen, though! Fingers crossed we get more iconic episodes that will make us feel God in any and every Chili's.
