The Paper S1
In The Paper, the documentary crew that immortalised Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in The Office have set their sights on a new subject: historic Midwestern newspaper the Toledo Truth-Teller, and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.
The Paper is a true ensemble, starring Critics’ Choice nominee Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina, About Time); breakout actress Chelsea Frei, who is currently at #15 on IMDb’s Starmeter; Emmy nominee Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus); the Emmy-winning fan-favourite from The Office, Oscar Nuñez; Ramona Young (Never Have I Ever), Melvin Gregg (The Blackening) and BAFTA nominee Tim Key (The Ballad of Wallis Island), as well as Nigerian BAFTA winner Gbemisola Ikumelo (Black Ops) and Emmy-winning comedian Alex Edelman, who are also part of the writing team.
Already renewed for a second season, The Paper is created, written and exec produced by Emmy winners Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation) and Michael Koman (How to with John Wilson, Saturday Night Live, Nathan for You), with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant (who co-created the original British version of The Office) among its executive producers.
The Paper has an 85% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with The Times (UK) hailing it as “laugh-out-loud funny… a worthy successor to the beloved US Office.”
