The Office spinoff The Paper is switching up its premiere plans and will now debut all 10 episodes of Season 1 at once.
Peacock announced the change to a binge model today, promising to release the entirety of the first season come September 4, 2025 (via Variety). It means dedicated viewers can watch all of Season 1 upon its release date, as opposed to the previously announced plan, which would have seen four episodes initially available to stream with two more dropping every week until the finale on September 25.
The Paper was announced as a spinoff from U.S. The Office co-creator Greg Daniels and Nathan for You co-creator Michael Koman last year. While the original show followed a documentary team and its coverage of Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch, the new Peacock series will see that same crew heading to Ohio to meet the staff of the Toledo Truth Teller newspaper.
There’s no Michael Scott, Jim Halpert, or Pam Beesly to find here. Instead, audiences who tune in will be greeted by a new cast, which includes Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina), Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus), Chelsea Frei (The Moodys), and more. The only familiar face subscribers can expect to see (for now) is Oscar Nuñez, who has returned to reprise his role as Oscar Martinez.
Despite its status as a follow-up to one of the most popular sitcoms of the 21st century, we know little about how exactly The Paper will shake out. Peacock finally moved to share just one image from the show in July, with a full trailer finally finding its way online earlier this month.
