It is beyond time to have another workplace mockumentary on our TV screens. Believe it or not, it has been over a decade since The Office ended, and right now we could all use a few extra laughs. A while ago, we got news that made us very giddy that a spinoff series was coming to Peacock. Now, we finally have a trailer for The Paper, and it is just as delightful as we imagined.
This series will follow the Toledo Truth Teller, a struggling print publication that is trying to stay a float. The paper is hiring a band of volunteer reporters to make this happen and, well, funny things will result from this. The Paper trailer hits a few points that are pretty resonant with us all, including ridiculous fluff pieces and the woes of trying to read anything on the internet thanks to a zillion ads. (Yeah, we know they aren’t your favorite thing but they are necessary.)
The Paper will hit Peacock on September 4.
