Inside ‘The Paper’: Uncover the Untold Secrets Behind ‘The Office’ Follow-Up Series Before Everyone Else Does

Just when you thought the *The Office* universe had spilled all its coffee, Greg Daniels—yes, the mastermind who Americanized the painfully awkward brilliance of the original British series—is back at it. But hold onto your staplers, because this isn’t your standard reunion special. In fact, the new follow-up series Dzags its own trail, stepping into the shoes of a failing Midwestern newspaper struggling to survive in the digital age. Picture Dunder Mifflin’s loveable chaos, but swap the copier jams for newsroom drama… with plenty of volunteer reporters who absolutely do not have a clue what they’re doing. Intrigued? You should be. It’s a premise described as “fruitful,” and it’s brimming with potential — not to mention the return of a familiar face from Scranton. So if you’ve ever wondered what happens when the documentary crew moves on from paper sales to paper trails, well, your answer’s coming in September 2025 on Peacock. Ready to dive in? LEARN MORE.
