A new photo from the comedy has also been released, which features not only series leads Domhnall Gleeson (The Patient) and Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus), but OG The Office cast member Oscar Nuñez, who will reprise his role of Oscar Martinez (evidently no longer an accountant at Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch). See the full image below:
Hailing from The Office co-creator Greg Daniels and Michael Koman (Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Saturday Night Live), The Paper finds the same documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin Scranton searching for a new subject. They ultimately find it in an historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the eager publisher that's trying to revive it.
The Paper's cast also includes Chelsea Frei (The Cleaning Lady), Melvin Gregg (Snowfall), Ramona Young (Never Have I Ever), Tim Key (The Witchfinder) and comedian Alex Edelman. Daniels and Koman will write and executive-produce the series, while original Office EPs Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein and Ben Silverman will also be back in that role.

Patrick Schwarzenegger talks about the ‘baggage' of having famous parents. Why he's set on making a name for himself.
Patrick Schwarzenegger is done with claims that he's a nepo baby. Instead of fighting the label, he's reluctantly come to accept it — but on his own terms. While chatting with his movie star father, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for Variety's "Actors on Actors" interview published on Tuesday, Patrick discussed the challenges of being seen as an actor in his own right. Patrick's mother, Maria Shriver, is a journalist and member of the Shriver and Kennedy families. The 31-year-old actor garnered acclaim for his portrayal of Saxon Ratliff, a narcissistic finance bro turned introspective sad boy, on Season 3 of The White Lotus. The anthology series, written and created by Mike White, is a social satire built around the guests and employees at a luxury resort. 'Mike White said that it comes with baggage, the idea that when you have successful parents like I do with you and mom, there's an added level of what other people think. Mike was worried about, if he cast me, what other people would think,' Patrick told Arnold of carrying the Schwarzenegger name. 'Which they did — they did care about that; people said that I got the role because of you and mom.' Patrick had contemplated dropping the Schwarzenegger name altogether. 'There were times earlier in my career where I was wondering, does it make sense to go under some sort of alias?' he said. 'It took a while for me to get to a point where I was less worried about, like, comparison and living in your shadow versus me just wanting to carve my own path and wanting to do it the way I thought I should do it.' Arnold told his son, 'You have never asked me to call a studio or to call an agent. You never asked me for advice when it comes to acting itself. You're a rare breed, and I'm very, very proud of you.' This isn't the first time Patrick has discussed the pitfalls of coming from a famous family. For his February 2025 cover story with the Sunday Times, the actor spoke candidly of the 'blessings and curses' of having such a recognizable surname, and how the nepo baby label minimizes the work he put into securing the role of Saxon on The White Lotus. 'I know there are people who'll say I only got this role because of who my dad is,' he said. 'They're not seeing that I've had 10 years of acting classes, put on [high] school plays every week, worked on my characters for hours on end or the hundreds of rejected auditions I've been on.' Patrick admits to having moments where he wishes he weren't a Schwarzenegger. Those moments are fleeting though. 'I would never trade my life with anyone," he told the Sunday Times. "I'm very fortunate to have the life and the family that I have, the parents I have and the lessons and values they've instilled in me.' Born and raised in Los Angeles, Patrick's earlier acting credits include Stuck in Love, the love interest in Ariana Grande's 2013 music video for 'Right There,' Scream Queens, Moxie and Gen V. The actor's pushback against claims that he's a nepo baby — even after talking in the "Actors on Actors" segment about why he doesn't think he is — has generated controversy online. On X, many users criticized Patrick's comments, calling him a nepo baby who refuses to acknowledge it. Others, including his White Lotus costar Aimee Lou Wood, with whom he recently reunited, have been quick to come to his defense. 'Patrick Schwarzenegger says it's 'frustrating' that 'there are people who'll say I only got ['THE WHITE LOTUS'] role because of who my dad is.' … And then bringing his dad along on his Emmy campaign,' one X user wrote, while another said, 'I don't know how to explain it, but Patrick Schwarzenegger has the most pure energy. Just golden retriever, happy to be here, the most un-nepo baby to ever nepo baby.' Wood, meanwhile, called Patrick the 'hardest working and kindest man ever' in an Instagram Story in May that she posted alongside a clip of him speaking about how it feels to be told he only got his White Lotus role 'cause his dad's in the industry.' Other children of celebrities and prominent figures who've been dubbed nepo babies have chosen to chart a course different from Patrick's: They've parted ways with their famous last names. While chatting with Kate Hudson and her brother Oliver on their podcast, "Sibling Revelry," former first lady Michelle Obama spoke about how her daughters Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23, with former President Barack Obama, 'don't want people to assume they don't work hard' or 'that they were handed things.' Malia, according to Michelle, goes by Malia Ann, her first and middle names. The 26-year-old filmmaker decided to drop her famous moniker from the short film she debuted at Sundance Film Festival in 2024. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter, Shiloh Jolie, 19, debuted her new nickname, 'Shi' last month. The change comes a year after she petitioned to drop her father's surname. Vivienne, 16, another one of Jolie and Pitt's daughters, followed in her older sister's steps. She worked as a producer's assistant for The Outsiders, and her name was listed as 'Vivienne Jolie' in the Playbill. Nepo babies are celebrating their famous parents with the 'Holy Airball' trend on TikTok in which famous or wealthy teens and 20-somethings share an incorrect assumption or expectation made of them, followed by a humblebrag about how successful they actually are. The name of the trend is a reference to basketball, when a player egregiously misses scoring a basket. While many celebrity children are embracing their nepo baby status, others are reluctant. As Patrick demonstrates, there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to navigating life as a celebrity offspring.

Chipotle is Giving Away Free Burritos for An Entire Year—Here's How to Win
Chipotle is Giving Away Free Burritos for An Entire Year—Here's How to Win originally appeared on Parade. If I'm being honest, I've been called extra quite a few times in my lifetime. I love a good dramatic sting, and I will forever live for an over-the-top, suspenseful episode of Paradise or The White Lotus. I'm a murder mystery fanatic, and if there's a new true crime documentary out about anything, you better believe I'm watching it. Sure, I could be more milquetoast and leave my confetti at the door, but cocktails are better with glitter bombs and gumbo is better extra spicy. 😋😋🍳🍔 I can't help that I was born with eyes bigger than my stomach and a taste to chase dreams larger than the universe. Everyone else should just catch up. Of course, there is one restaurant chain that knows a thing or two about being a little extra, and this summer they're giving away more than you can imagine (and hopefully silencing those portion size allegations in the process.) That's right, my 'couldn't care less if guac is extra', friends. Chipotle is kicking off an entire Summer of Extras, a new three-month program that rewards Rewards members with free burritos from June 1 to August this Sunday, rewards members who reach predetermined milestones can rack up additional points and score a shot at winning the ultimate prize—a coveted (and only slightly extra) limited-edition stainless steel Chipotle card good for free burritos for an entire year. And if that's not enough, Chipotle is giving away a whopping 10,000 free burritos every week. If you choose to participate, it's worth noting that milestones will reset each month, giving guests more chances to earn all summer long. Weekly entry periods begin each Sunday at 12 AM Pacific Time and end every Saturday at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. In totality, you can earn up to 60 entries into the sweepstakes each week, as well as over 650 rewards points if you can commit to eating Chipotle four times a week. If you haven't already signed up for Chipotle Rewards, you can also snag a free guac after your first order, but we're sure you're already a part of the club. Chipotle might be more extra than I am.
