Peacock has dropped the first official trailer of <em>The Paper<\/em>, the spinoff mockumentary series set in the same universe as the beloved Dunder Mifflin-ites at the Scranton branch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The premise of the new comedy involves the same documentary crew that has found a new paper-related subject \u201cseveral years\u201d later, as revealed in the trailer. They discover the historic yet struggling Ohio newspaper, the <em>Toledo<\/em> <em>Truth Teller.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The trailer sets the tone for the lack of quality at the newspaper, as described by employee Ken (Tim Key): &#8220;Enervate sells products made of paper: Toilet tissue, toilet seat protectors and local newspapers \u2014 and that is in order of quality.\u201d One of the cameras then catches garbage being scraped off a folded-up <em>Truth Teller<\/em> newspaper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Cue Ned Sampson (Domhnall Gleeson), the new hopeful editor in chief, who is brought in to try and revive the newsroom. He admits the paper \u201csucks\u201d compared to other papers, but vows to make it better by shaking things up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Viewers are also introduced to one of the paper\u2019s writers, Esmeralda, played by Emmy-nominated <em>The White Lotus<\/em> actress Sabrina Impacciatore. She proudly shows the documentary crew one of her clickbait articles with the headline: &#8220;You Won&#8217;t Believe How Much Ben Affleck Tipped His Limo Driver.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Sabrina Impacciatore as Esmeralda, Domhnall Gleeson as Ned in &#8220;The Paper.&#8221; (Peacock)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">We also get a glimpse of an intro meeting where Ned asks a group of volunteer reporters if any of them have &#8220;actually written for a paper before.&#8221; The responses are less than impressive, though perhaps Dundie-worthy, sharing their experience writing junior high papers, Tweeting and group-texting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But Ned isn\u2019t one to back down from a challenge, as the trailer shows. \u201cSeven highly motivated, tenacious Buckeyes are out there hunting for news,\u201d Ned says, mirroring Michael Scott\u2019s loyalty to his employees. \u201cYou\u2019d be a fool to bet against that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>I\u2019m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\" data-jump-link-target=\"\" id=\"when-does-the-paper-premier-and-how-can-i-watch\">When does \u2018The Paper\u2019 premier and how can I watch?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>The Paper<\/em>, co-created by Greg Daniels (<em>The Office<\/em> and <em>Parks and Recreation<\/em>) and Michael Koman (<em>Nathan For You<\/em>), launches exclusively on Peacock.
