The crew is searching for a new subject when they stumble upon a historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the publisher\u2019s efforts to revive it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe series stars Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key.

The show will not be centered around Oscar, the former Dunder Mifflin accountant, but he is one of the characters in the show and was involved from the start.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAlthough he is the only actor from the OG series to join the ensemble, Paul Lieberstein will direct the fourth episode of the show\u2019s freshman season. Lieberstein played Toby Flenderson, the human resources rep for Dunder Mifflin\u2019s Scranton Branch. Additionally, Lieberstein wrote, directed, and executive produced the mothership series. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tSeason 1 directors include: Greg Daniels (101), Ken Kwapis (102), Yana Gorskaya (103), Paul Lieberstein (104), Tazbah Chavez (105), Jason Woliner (106), Jennifer Celotta (107), Matt Sohn (108), Dave Rogers (109), and Jeff Blitz (110).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tCreators \/ Executive Producers of\u00a0The Paper\u00a0are Greg Daniels (The Office) and Michael Koman (Nathan for You).
