Sabrina Impacciatore, Domhnall Gleeson, Melvin Gregg, Chelsea Frei, Ramona Young, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Tim Key and Eric Rahill have been cast in the series from Greg Daniels and Michael Koman. The following was revealed about the series:
“The series, rumored to be titled “The Paper,” will follow the staffers of a dying Midwestern newspaper whose publisher is trying to revive it with volunteer reporters. It will be “filmed,” so to speak, by the same documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in “The Office” — which might explain the connection to how Oscar winds up in the new setting.”
The Paper is executive produced by Daniels, Koman, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein and Ben Silverman.
No other details about the series have been released. The Office aired on NBC for nine seasons.
