New comedy series The Paper gets a premiere window from Peacock

The premiere date for the new comedy series The Paper, from the creators of The Office, was revealed during NBCUniversal's Upfront presentation in New York City. The Paper is a mockumentary set in the same universe as NBC's Emmy-winning hit series The Office. It's told from the perspective of the documentary crew who filmed Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch. Searching for a new subject, they stumble upon a historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, along with an ambitious publisher who wants to revive it.
