Pop culture has long warned us about the perils of spending too much time inside an office. Yet Hollywood can’t stop spending time in one. And now, it’s official. Peacock has picked off The Office spinoff and given it a series order. We officially have some details about The Office spinoff’s plot and cast members as well as a first-look photo for The Paper.
It will premiere on Peacock in September. Let’s hope this spinoff has better luck than Suits LA, which just got cancelled after only one season.
It appears the new series will take place in Toledo, Ohio. Variety reports that a not-yet-released to the general public trailer reveals that Oscar (Nuñez) is now working as an accountant for the Toledo Truth-Teller and is not happy to see the documentary crew again.
The Office Spinoff The Paper‘s Setting and Plot
We finally have some more information about The Office spinoff. Variety reveals that this series is “a new mockumentary show with a new cast set in the same universe.”
Additionally, the logline for The Paper is as follows:
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.
Very interesting indeed.
Lisa Katz, president of NBCUniversal Entertainment shares “It’s been more than ten years since the final episode of ‘The Office’ aired on NBC, and the acclaimed comedy series continues to gain popularity and build new generations of fans on Peacock. In partnership with Universal Television and led by the creative team of Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, this new series set in the universe of Dunder Mifflin introduces a new cast of characters in a fresh setting ripe for comedic storytelling: a daily newspaper.”
The Paper‘s Cast
Star Wars‘ Domhnall Gleeson and The White Lotus‘ Sabrina Impacciatore are the first performers to join The Office spinoff’s cast. The Hollywood Reporter says Gleeson and Impacciatore have signed on for a possible new sequel show to the smash hit NBC series, which remains as popular as ever thanks to streaming.
There are a lot of people who will star in this series. According to Variety, the latest are Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Tim Key, and Eric Rahill. We don’t know anything about their characters quite yet but we should be getting more information soon.
We previously learned that The Office spinoff added Melvin Gregg, Chelsea Frei, and Ramona Young to its growing cast. I personally loved Gregg in The Blackening and know he will be hilarious in this.
More About The Office Spinoff The Paper
This new version of The Office is in development from original series creator Greg Daniels and Michael Korman. Reports of a potential The Office spinoff first came to light last September. Daniels then put together a writing room in January. Now, we know we will get episodes this September, which is pretty quick for a TV series these days.
Impacciatore is an Emmy-nominated actress, and Gleeson is known around both this world and the galaxy far, far away as the detestable General Armitage Hux. Impacciatore plays the managing editor for the Toledo Truth-Teller, while Gleeson plays an idealistic new employee.
We will surely find out more once the trailer for The Paper drops.
