What is The Officespinoff about?

Even though this new show is set in the same universe as The Office, we aren't going back to Scranton, Pennsylvania. Instead, we'll be heading to Toledo, Ohio, following The Office's pivotal (yet mostly unseen) documentary crew on their next project. In a press release issued by Peacock, the series 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.

Are any The Office characters returning for The Paper?

Yes! At NBCUniversal's 2025 upfront presentation, The Office star Oscar Nuñez revealed that he would be reprising his role as Oscar Martinez in The Paper. As of May 12, 2025, he is the only confirmed returning Dunder Mifflin character. It's fitting that at least one person who worked at a paper company winds up in a show called The Paper, right?
