If you don\u2019t subscribe to Peacock<\/a> and have been itching to watch \u201cThe Paper,\u201d<\/a> you are in luck.<\/p>\n

NBC<\/a> has announced that the workplace comedy, a spin-off of the hit NBC series \u201cThe Office,\u201d<\/a> will join its primetime Monday night lineup starting on Nov. 10. \u201cThe Paper\u201d will fill the 8:30 p.m. slot, with \u201cSt. Denis Medical\u201d preceding it and \u201cThe Voice\u201d following it.<\/p>\n

Although NBC has previously aired one-off episodes of Peacock shows in an attempt to promote the streaming service, this is the first time NBC will air all episodes of a Peacock original series.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Paper,\u201d which was released on Peacock in September, is a mockumentary sitcom series that follows the office culture within the office of the washed-up newspaper, \u201cThe Toledo Truth Teller.\u201d <\/p>\n

The show follows Ned Sampson (played by Domhnall Gleeson), a new editor-in-chief trying to revive a washed-up newspaper with a mostly inexperienced staff. His job is made even more difficult because they share their office with a toilet paper brand, and his bitter predecessor, Esmeralda Grand (Sabrina Impacciatore), is actively working to sabotage him. Amidst the workplace chaos, Sampson also develops a crush on the paper\u2019s star reporter, Mare Pritt (played by Chelsea Frei).<\/p>\n

Other cast members include: Melvin Gregg as Detrick Moore; Gbemisola Ikumelo as Adelola Olofin; Alex Edelman as Adam Cooper; Ramona Young as Nicole Lee; and Tim Key as Ken Davies.<\/p>\n

Oscar Nu\u00f1ez, who played Oscar Martinez on Steve Carell\u2019s \u201cThe Office,\u201d is also a full-time cast member who reprises his role as the office\u2019s accountant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Paper\u201d makes small nods to \u201cThe Office\u201d in its 10 episodes, but captivates audiences with all-new workplace drama and shenanigans. After premiering on Peacock, on Sept. 4 it quickly landed in the Luminate and Nielsen streaming top 10 charts for the week of September 5\u201311.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, before the show even dropped on Peacock, it was renewed for a second season. In addition to its overall strong viewership, it was also Peacock\u2019s second-highest comedy premiere ever, behind only \u201cTed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing how much \u2018The Office\u2019 was beloved by a broadcast audience when it aired on NBC, we wanted to give \u2018The Paper\u2019 a similar opportunity to connect,\u201d said NBCU Entertainment president of scripted Lisa Katz, in a press release, per Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Paper\u201d was created by Greg Daniels, who also produced the American version of \u201cThe Office,\u201d and Michael Koman, a writer and producer known for his work on shows such as \u201cHow to with John Wilson\u201d and \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

To fit each episode within its 22-minute network TV time slot, Daniels and Koman will be making slight edits to the show.<\/p>\n

They also plan to deliver the second season around the same time next year. It\u2019s unclear whether this sophomore installment will only air on Peacock or also be sent to NBC.<\/p>\n
