Peacock has officially announced the premiere date and release schedule for NBC’s highly anticipated new spinoff series for The Office.

The Paper is set to premiere on Peacock Thursday, Sept. 4. The new series will debut with the first four episodes, followed by two new episodes airing every Thursday through Sept. 25.

In The Paper, the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch finds a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.

According to Variety, a trailer shared at the NBCUniversal upfront presentation showed the documentary crew visiting the Toledo Truth-Teller, where they cross paths with former Dunder Mifflin accountant Oscar Martinez, played once again by The Office star Oscar Nuñez. Oscar is not exactly happy to see the crew again at his new job as the newspaper’s accountant.

Domhnall Gleeson stars as a new employee at the paper, while The White Lotus breakout star Sabrina Impacciatore plays the managing editor.

Gleeson recently described the show as following a “cast of underdog characters that are banding together to keep journalism alive.”

“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,” he said.

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

The nature of their roles have largely been kept under wraps. However, the Palisades Post, a local newspaper in California, revealed the actors shadowed members of the newspaper’s staff to “gain a deeper understanding of the inner-workings of a local publication.”

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

For fans looking for something to tune into before The Paper premieres, The Office is streaming now on Peacock.
