The Paper Premieres With Full-Season Drop as Peacock Locks In Season 2

Early reviews average 85% on Rotten Tomatoes as Greg Daniels’ follow-up shifts the mockumentary to a Toledo newsroom focused on local journalism.

Overview

  • All 10 episodes are now streaming on Peacock after a late switch from a staggered rollout to a binge release.
  • Peacock renewed the series for a second season before launch, with the next installment expected next year on Peacock and Sky/NOW.
  • Critics’ score sits at 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, with notices praising the cast and tone while raising concerns about pacing and familiarity.
  • The series keeps ties to The Office through the original documentary crew and Oscar Nuñez’s return, and the premiere acknowledges Dunder Mifflin’s fate without retreading old stories.
  • International rollout began Sept. 5 on Sky/NOW in the U.K. and on JioHotstar in India, alongside the U.S. debut.
