The Paper, Peacock's spin-off of The Office, has been given a release date, and it's not so far off. Now officially premiering in September, The Paper is more of a spiritual sequel to the beloved sitcom, which ran from 2005-2013, in that it follows all new characters in an all new setting, with the premise that the new "documentary" is filmed by the same fictional film crew as The Office.
This time, the story centers on a struggling midwestern newspaper as a rambunctious new editor does his best to bring the paper back to prominence in a world that has increasingly less time for print media.
