The Office spinoff series The Paper first trailer has finally released, promising a chaotic and wild journey ahead.
The upcoming show will follow The Office’s mockumentary style and centres on the Toledo Truth Teller, a struggling local newspaper in Toledo, Ohio, which is attempting to get back on its feet with the help of some new volunteer reporters.
The trailer begins with an onscreen text which states, "Several years ago, a documentary crew filmed the story of Dunder Mifflin. Now they've found a new subject."
Then voice of Tim Key's character is being heard as he lists down the products made from paper in order: "Toilet tissue, toilet seat protectors and local newspapers and that is in order of quality."
The scenes switch to Esmeralda (Sabrina Impacciatore), who excitedly shows off her article saying that she is "particularly proud of," with the camera showing a story titled "You Won't Believe How Much Ben Affleck Tipped His Limo Driver" on her computer.
Then comes Ned (Domhnall Gleeson), who tells the newsroom, which also includes characters played by Gbemisola Ikumelo and Ramona Young, that he's their new editor-in-chief.
The trailer ends with The Office alum Oscar Núñez’s character Oscar Martínez, who on noticing that the crew is filming gets up from his desk saying, "Not again, I'm not agreeing to any of this," and vowing to make the footage unusable, even cursing to prove his point.
While Núñez has already made an appearance in the show, many other The Office stars including Steve Carell and John Krasinski, have dismissed the rumours of returning to the spin off.
The Paper is set to premiere September 4 on Peacock.
