The Office spin-off gets release window and first look featuring a fan-favorite character from the original series

NBC and Peacock have revealed the first look and release window for The Paper, a spin-off of The Office from OG creator Greg Daniels, Nathan For You co-creator Michael Koman, and executive producer Ricky Gervais.

Set in the same universe as the original American series, the spin-off follows the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch as they, while searching for a new subject, "discover a historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the eager publisher trying to revive it (H/T Deadline).

In the first look photo, which can be viewed below, Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) stands on a desk in the middle of the office - while none other than Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nuñez), the same Oscar from the original series, sits at a desk nearby. How he got from Scranton to Toledo, we're not sure - but I'm sure we'll find out.
