Interesting facts

The Paper is framed as the very same documentary crew that filmed Dunder Mifflin in The Office, now turning their cameras on a new subject, which lets the spinoff keep the mockumentary format intact while telling a fresh story.

Oscar Nuñez is the only original Office cast member to join as a series regular, reprising accountant Oscar Martinez, now relocated into the world of the struggling newspaper at the show's center.

The series was co-created by Greg Daniels, who developed the American version of The Office, and Michael Koman of Nathan for You, and Peacock renewed it for a second season after its debut.

The Paper

description

The Paper is a Peacock mockumentary comedy set in the universe of The Office, created by Greg Daniels, who adapted the original American series, together with Michael Koman. Premiering in September 2025, it revives the beloved documentary-crew conceit by sending the same filmmakers who once chronicled Dunder Mifflin off to find a brand-new subject.

This time the cameras follow the Toledo Truth Teller, a struggling Midwestern newspaper, and the earnest new editor (Domhnall Gleeson) trying to resurrect it with a ragtag crew of volunteer reporters. Sabrina Impacciatore and Chelsea Frei co-star, while Oscar Nuñez returns as accountant Oscar Martinez, the lone original Office character folded into the new ensemble.

Reviews were generally warm, praising the show for finding its own rhythm while honoring the spirit of its predecessor, and Peacock renewed it for a second season. By centering a dying local newspaper, the series gives its workplace comedy a timely, bittersweet backdrop. The Paper streams on Peacock.

Cougar Town

2021
Comedy & Humor
Regular viewers of ABC's Wednesday night comedy hit "Cougar Town" will feel their lips curl into wry smiles when they read pre-premiere summaries of the show: The producers and writers originally conceived "Cougar Town" as the life and times of a forty-something divorcee intrepidly devoted to seducing younger men in a small Florida town. The early promos stress the small town's obsession with its high school football team, ironically The Cougars. The football theme arrived still-born, and the entire show might have hit the airwaves DOA except that Courteney Cox and "Scrubs"-creator Bill Lawrence had vision and courage to work a few miracle revisions. The whole "Cougar Town" crew rapidly realized, like Jules surveying a bar-full of mini-skirted matrons, "I know I'm one of them. I just don't feel like one of them." They wisely helped Jules morph into her authentic self. The younger boyfriend disappeared from "Cougar Town" after just a few episodes, and stories coalesced around Cox's character Jules, her teen-aged son Travis, and Jules's extended family"”her neighbours on the cul-de-sac, her co-workers in her real estate office, and her profligate ex-husband. While "Cougar Town" struggled to resolve its identity crisis, Lawrence's innuendo-rich dialogue and Cox's increasingly sophisticated delivery sustained the show. By the end of "Cougar Town's" first season, ratings alone offered ample testimony to "Cougar Town's" radical improvement as it held audiences in the half-hour after "Modern Family"; but the Hollywood Foreign Press sealed the deal, nominating Cox for a 2010 Golden Globe as Best Actress in a Comedy.
