Is the cosmos nudging Peacock to rush things or simply telling us that patience isn’t always a virtue? Whatever the celestial cause, Peacock is shaking up its release game for The Office follow-up, The Paper, opting for a full-on binge drop this September 4 instead of the originally teased four-week rollout. With the Mercury retrograde lurking around the TV schedule’s crowded corners, this move feels like a clever comet dancing just ahead of the storm. The Paper, set in the quirky universe where The Office’s documentary crew turns their camera to a struggling historic Ohio newspaper, promises a fresh spin — led by Domhnall Gleeson’s Ned Sampson and a stellar cast including Oscar Nuñez reprising his beloved role. Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, and with executive producers like Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant onboard, this series is already orbiting high expectations.

Peacock is changing the release schedule for its Office follow-up The Paper.
The NBCUniversal-owned streamer says it will make the comedy a binge release, debuting the full 10-episode season on Sept. 4. The Paper had previously been slated to roll out over four weeks, with the first four episodes coming on the premiere day and two per week after that through Sept. 25.
Citing positive responses from people who have previewed the series (though not in print; reviews are embargoed until closer to the premiere), Peacock, Universal Television and the show’s producers decided to make the change and drop the entire season at once. The move will also put the entirety of The Paper in front of audiences several weeks before the start of the traditional TV season makes the premiere calendar even more crowded.
The Paper is set in the same world as The Office, with the documentary crew that filmed the workers of Dunder Mifflin taking on a new subject. It stars Domhnall Gleeson as Ned Sampson, the new editor of the Toledo Truth-Teller, a historic Ohio newspaper that has fallen on hard time. Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key and Oscar Nuñez — reprising his Office role — also star. Duane Shepard Sr., Allan Havey, Nate Jackson, Mo Welch, Nancy Lenehan, Molly Ephraim and Tracy Letts have guest roles. Ikumelo, Edelman, Rahill and Welch are also writers on the series.
Greg Daniels, who created the American Office, and Michael Koman co-created The Paper. They executive produce with The Office creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein, Ben Silverman and Banijay Americas.
