Overview
- All 10 episodes debuted Sept. 4 on Peacock, and the show had been renewed for a second season before launch.
- Domhnall Gleeson leads as editor-in-chief Ned Sampson, a fully realized character whose background sets him apart from a Michael Scott-style archetype.
- Oscar Nuñez returns as Oscar Martinez, and the same in-universe documentary crew shifts its focus from Scranton to Toledo.
- The series situates the Toledo Truth Teller under Enervate’s corporate umbrella alongside Softees, echoing real-world private-equity consolidation of local media.
- Early coverage notes a warm ensemble and humane tone with familiar mockumentary beats, and it highlights the show’s engagement with “ghost papers,” churnalism and the decline of local reporting.
