“The Office” original cast member, Oscar Martinez, is reprising his role for the show. “Greg (Daniels) heard me and moved Oscar to Toledo, Ohio, which has three times the population of Scranton,” Oscar Nuñez said. “So it’s nice to be heard.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, THE PAPER will follow a historic but struggling newspaper company in Toledo, Ohio. Former OFFICE showrunner Greg Daniels and Michael Koman will write the series. Oscar Nuñez will reprise his role as Oscar Martinez from THE OFFICE.
The show, in which the documentary crew from The Office lands on a new subject, is called The Paper. It follows the publisher (Domhnall Gleeson) and staff of a historic but struggling newspaper in Toledo, Ohio.
In September, we’ll know whether or not The Office spin-off actually works. The Paper won’t premiere on broadcast TV like its predecessor—an unfortunate sign of the times, but Peacock probably still needs the subscriber boost to justify its existence.
