First trailer released for The Office spin-off series starring Domhnall Gleeson
The first trailer for The Office spin-off series The Paper starring Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson has been released. The new series is presented as the latest project from the same documentary crew who shot The Office. This time the subject is a struggling midwestern newspaper called the Toledo Truth Teller. Gleeson plays Ned Sampson, the positive if slightly delusional, new editor-in-chief of the Toledo Truth Teller who is determined to turn the paper's fortunes around with only a rag-tag crew of volunteer journalists on hand. Earlier this year Gleeson told Collider, 'People are going to have to take the show on its own merits, because it's become something different. It's a whole new city. READ MORE 'It's not like a remake – it's like a documentary crew went to a different city and they're following different people. It's not a paper company; it's a newspaper. It's a very, very different set-up.' The show has a fairly star-studded cast with Sabrina Impacciatore, who recently starred in The White Lotus , and Chelsea Frei, who was a mainstay of the sitcom The Moodys, also featuring prominently. Guest cameos were a big part of the original series and Molly Ephraim, Mo Welch and Tracy Letts have been announced as guest stars. The Paper is from the makers of the UK and US Office series with Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais serving as executive producers. Greg Daniels, who in 2005 adapted the UK Office series for American audiences, has co-written, created and produced the show with Michael Koman, best known for the American sitcom Nathan For You. Oscar Nuñez is the only actor to reprise their role from the US Office TV series as he will once again play accountant Oscar Martinez. The Paper will be available to audiences in the UK and Ireland on Sky and through the streaming service NOW on September 5th, the day after its US premier. After that, two episodes will be released every Thursday night until September 25th. [ RTÉ's Traitors aftershow: Uncloaked will be part of the new not-TV-but-on-TV genre that's still jarring Opens in new window ] The show comprises 10 30-minute episodes, in the same format as the original Office series.

The Paper Trailer Out: The Office Spin-Off Looks ‘Incredible'
The Paper promises a fresh workplace comedy, following a chaotic newspaper crew trying to save their sinking publication. Peacock has dropped the trailer for The Paper, a new comedy series from The Office creators Greg Daniels and Michael Koman. The show will premiere on September 4, and although it is not set in the world of Dunder Mifflin, it carries the same quirky, mockumentary style with numerous nods to the iconic Steve Carell series. Instead of a paper company, The Paper follows a struggling local newspaper, The Toledo Truthteller. The story blends workplace chaos, eccentric characters, and sharp humour, just like The Office, but with a fresh setting and new challenges. A Dying Newspaper in Trouble In the series, The Toledo Truthteller is on the verge of collapse. Quality journalism has taken a back seat, replaced by sensational clickbait headlines, one editor even boasts about running a story titled: 'You Won't Believe How Much Ben Affleck Tipped His Limo Driver." The managing editor, Esmeralda, has lost sight of traditional reporting, and readership numbers are plummeting. Just when things seem hopeless, a new editor-in-chief, Ned Sampson (played by Domhnall Gleeson), is hired to turn things around. Inexperienced Staff, Big Challenges Ned Sampson quickly realises he has a bigger problem: his seven newly recruited reporters have little to no experience. One hasn't written anything meaningful since junior high, while the other's only writing skill lies in crafting tweets. Despite the lack of qualified staff, Ned has no choice but to work with what he has, given the paper's dire financial state. The show utilises this mismatched team as the heart of its comedy, exploring how they attempt to revive a struggling newsroom with almost no resources or expertise. A Familiar Yet Fresh Cast The cast is a mix of familiar and fresh faces. Domhnall Gleeson leads as Ned Sampson, while The Office fans will spot Oscar Nunez reprising his comedic charm. Other cast members include Chelsea Frei, Sabrina Impacciatore and Alex Edelman. With The Office becoming a cultural phenomenon thanks to stars like Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer and Rainn Wilson, expectations are high. From the trailer, it looks like Greg Daniels is ready to bring another funny workplace show; this time about a newspaper instead of a paper company.
