What we know about ‘The Paper,’ the ‘Office’ spinoff about an Ohio ghost newspaper

“The Paper” premieres Thursday on Peacock, and tidbits about the mockumentary series that follows a ragtag newspaper staff have been making the rounds online.

The Toledo Truth Teller is a historic and apparent ghost newspaper — a publication that nominally exists but has been stripped of most or all local news reporting — in Ohio. It’s also the subject of a new documentary filmed by the same crew that followed Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in the cult show “The Office.”

We dug around the internet and listened to interviews with some of the cast members to see what we could glean about “The Paper” ahead of the premiere.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Greg Daniels — who adapted the British version of “The Office” for American TV — said he was reluctant to open up the world of the show again after NBC approached him about doing a reboot or spinoff. Five years had gone by since “The Office” aired its finale special in 2013.
