For fans of The Office, The Paper is here. Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, this mockumentary sitcom brings back the nostalgia of The Office as The Paper is a spinoff of the famous show. Featuring Domhnall Gleeson, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, and others, the show will premiere on Peacock on September 4, 2025, and fans are eagerly waiting for its release.
Like its predecessor, the mockumentary-style series follows the staff of a Midwestern newspaper, the Toledo Truth-Teller, as a documentary crew attempts to capture how the company and its staff are trying to keep the struggling newspaper alive through their quirky antics and volunteer reporters.
While Gleeson will play Ned Sampson, the new editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Oscar Nuñez is back as Oscar Martinez and is one of the only cast members to continue from The Office. The first season will comprise ten episodes, and the following details outline the release schedule and show timings.
Details about The Paper premiere: Release timings and more explored

First and foremost, The Paper is slated to release on Peacock on Thursday, September 4, 2025. Furthermore, all ten episodes of the show will be available to watch in one go for viewers. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the streaming platform had earlier decided to roll out the show over four weeks. However, a positive response from the initial people who watched the show gave the show’s producers the hope to drop the entire season at once.
The show will be available exclusively on the platform, and therefore, viewers will need to have an active Peacock subscription to watch it. The release time for The Paper is 12 am Pacific Time (PT) and 3 am Eastern Time (ET). Therefore, that would mean,
8 am in the UK
5 pm in Australia
9 am in Germany
8 am in Ireland
9 am in Spain
4 am in Argentina
Some of the directors in Season 1 include Greg Daniels, Paul Lieberstein, Jennifer Celotta, Jeff Blitz, and others. Greg Daniels, Ricky Gervais, Michael Koman, and others are the executive producers of The Paper.
Why is Oscar Nuñez the only star coming back from The Office? Details explored

Nuñez used to play the famous Dunder Mifflin accountant Oscar Martinez on the original show, The Office, and he is back at it again in the new show.
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, creators Greg Daniels and Michael Koman explain that Nuñez is the connecting link between the two shows. Daniels remarked,
“If you look at the finale of The Office, the characters…were mostly going in different directions…Oscar was kind of the same as he was in the beginning…so it made sense,”
Koman added,
“Oscar’s just really funny…and I thought he works really well because he blends in to almost any ensemble…his story was a little more open-ended. So it made sense to bring him back.”
The show will be available on Peacock.
