Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation) and Michael Koman (Nathan for You) bring back the mockumentary cameras, this time sneaking into the newsroom of the Toledo Truth Teller, a century-old newspaper that’s barely hanging on—sharing office space with… a toilet paper company. Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina, About Time) plays Ned Sampson, an idealistic editor determined to revive the paper with an army of volunteer reporters who have zero experience.

The big nod for nostalgic fans comes with the return of Oscar Nuñez as the ever-stoic Oscar Martinez, who in the trailer lets out a resigned “Not again” upon realizing that, once again, a documentary crew has decided to follow him around.

If the series manages to make its humor about more than just the Oscar gag and fully taps into its satire of precarious journalism, it could be much more than a simple echo of Dunder Mifflin 📄.
