The Office superfans, unite!
More than a decade after the beloved NBC mockumentary aired its series finale and the world bid farewell to Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch, creator Greg Daniels teamed up with Michael Koman (Nathan For You) to bring us a new comedy that revisits The Office‘s world.
The Paper checks in with the same documentary crew that made Dunder Mifflin’s employees stars. Only now, they’ve found a captivating new subject: the staff of The Truth Teller, a struggling local newspaper in Toledo, Ohio. On top of the camera crew’s ties to The Office, we learn that the newspaper’s parent company, Enervate, purchased Dunder Mifflin in 2019, and that our old pal Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nuñez) now works as The Truth Teller’s head accountant.
As Decider noted in our full review of The Paper, new Peacock series is a must-watch for fans of The Office and comedy/mockumentary lovers. So when does The Paper come out on Peacock? What time can you watch the workplace comedy? How many episodes are in The Paper Season 1? And how can you watch The Paper online?
We’ve got answers! Here’s all the info you need ahead of The Paper‘s highly-anticipated premiere.
The Paper Season 1 premieres in full on Peacock on Thursday, September 4.
The Paper Season 1 consists of 10 episodes, all of which will be available to stream on Thursday, September 4.
You bet! Ahead of The Paper‘s review embargo the day before Season 1 premieres, Peacock announced that the highly-anticipated comedy already snagged an early Season 2 renewal.
“Daniels already is said to have ideas for a second season,” Deadline reported. “It is likely his Season 2 plans and the NBCUniversal brass being happy with the competed episodes that paved the way to the renewal.”

Here’s a list of cast members and character names, and be sure to read Decider’s The Paper review for more details on each.
