NBC has finally given a sneak peek at its upcoming The Office spinoff series, The Paper – and it looks just as gloriously awkward as the original.

NBC shared an update on the new Peacock series during the NBCUniversal’s Upfront presentation Monday. Series stars Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore and Oscar Nuñez made an appearance to discuss the mockumentary-style series, which follows the staff of a failing Midwestern newspaper.

“We are three members of a wonderful ensemble cast of underdog characters that are banding together to keep journalism alive,” Gleeson said during the appearance, per Entertainment Weekly. “My character has the unwavering optimistic belief that he can turn The Truth Teller to the glory of its heyday… And, if you’re wondering, I will not be using this Irish accent.”

Peacock announced the show’s anticipated release window and shared a first-look image from the pilot episode. Gleeson can be seen standing on a desk as he addresses the newsroom, while Nuñez, Impacciatore, and the rest of the staff look on.

The series is set in the same universe as The Office, but is not necessarily a reboot or revival.

The Paper show’s logline reads: “The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.”

Impacciatore and Gleeson appear to be the series leads, though NBC has largely kept the nature of their roles under wraps. Nuñez, however, is confirmed to be reprising his role from the original series as Oscar Martinez.

Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Ramona Young, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, and Tim Key also round out the cast.

Palisades Post, a local newspaper based in the California town of Pacific Palisades, revealed the actors shadowed members of the newspaper’s staff “gain a deeper understanding of the inner-workings of a local publication” for The Paper series.

The actors reportedly shadowed staff members who worked in sales, reporting, circulation and graphic design.

When will The Paper premiere?

NBC announced the series will stream exclusively on Peacock beginning in September. An official date has not been announced yet.

The Office is currently streaming on Peacock, as well.
