This morning, it was revealed at NBCUniversal’s Upfront presentation in New York City that the Greg Daniels and Michael Koman-produced comedy series "The Paper" will premiere on Peacock in September.

The mockumentary from Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, is set in the same universe as NBC’s Emmy Award-winning hit series "The Office", and features the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch.

The crew is searching for a new subject when they discover a historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the eager publisher trying to revive it.

The spiritual spinoff of The Office "wastes very little time in establishing its ties to the original show: We’re told, right up top, that this is the new pulp-adjacent project from the same documentary crew that spent so many years filming the Dunder-Mifflin hordes," says William Hughes. "It’s similarly efficient in letting viewers know who, say, their new Jim is going to be, with Domhnall Gleeson’s Ned quickly introducing himself as the straight-laced normie having to wrangle a staff of oddballs, while cracking jokes and smiles with a similarly sane female co-worker (Chelsea Frei)." The Paper premieres Sept. 4.
