The Office spinoff series The Paper has received an early renewal for Season 2 just one day prior to its premiere on Peacock. The decision came after a wave of positive early responses from fans and critics alike. Stars Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore announced the renewal during a promotional appearance on the Today show. Co-creator Greg Daniels has already begun working on the next season, with plans to release it around the same time in 2026. The series will follow a similar documentary style to the original show, utilizing the same crew that filmed at Dunder Mifflin in Scranton and focusing on a new office environment filled with journalists. All ten episodes of Season 1 will be available for streaming starting September 4.

Will The Paper be as successful as The Office?

While it remains to be seen if The Paper will reach the iconic success of The Office, the early renewal for a second season suggests strong confidence in the show's potential. According to co-creator Greg Daniels, positive feedback from insiders and early viewers could indicate a warm reception from the wider audience as well.

The Paper is a noteworthy addition to The Office universe, tapping into the familiar mockumentary style that made the original series beloved. Set to explore a new workspace, it continues the legacy of character-driven comedy and workplace dynamics that attracted a dedicated fanbase to the original show. With Domhnall Gleeson stepping into a role reminiscent of Michael Scott, fans are eager to see how this new series captures the essence of what made The Office a television phenomenon.
