Overview

  • All 10 episodes premiered on Sept. 4 on Peacock after a shift from a planned staggered rollout to a binge release.
  • Peacock renewed the series for Season 2 the day before launch, and Sky/NOW also committed to the second season in the UK and Ireland.
  • The show opened with an 85% Rotten Tomatoes critics score, drawing praise for its cast and tone alongside critiques of pacing and distinctiveness.
  • Framed as a follow-up rather than a reboot, it retains The Office’s documentary crew, brings back Oscar Nuñez, and introduces leads Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore.
  • Set at the Toledo Truth Teller, the mockumentary tackles the realities of local journalism and is rolling out internationally this week, including on Sky and NOW in the UK and Ireland.
