A New Storyline with Familiar Faces!

This fresh take brings back the iconic documentary crew from The Office, but they’re now delving into the realm of a small-town newspaper. According to the official description, the crew stumbles upon a historic Toledo publication named The Truth Teller, along with its passionate publisher who is determined to breathe new life into it.

Behind the Scenes!

At the helm of this exciting project is Greg Daniels, who directed The Office, along with writer Michael Koman, recognized for his work on Nathan for You and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. The duo promises a humorous yet poignant exploration of media in the digital age.

A Modern Villain!

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Daniels revealed that the central conflict revolves around the internet's domination over traditional news, highlighting how readers now access information for free, leaving local papers clinging to dwindling ad revenue.

The Paper is just one of its exciting offerings, alongside new seasons of Twisted Metal and Ted, a prequel series to the horror classic Friday the 13th called Crystal Lake, and the recently launched season 2 of Poker Face.
