New The Office comedy series will centre on reporters at a 'dying' newspaper
Over a decade after viewers said goodbye to beloved NBC series The Office, a new comedy set in the same universe as everyone's favourite paper company Dunder Mifflin is coming to Peacock.
Ex Machina star Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore from Season 2 of HBO's The White Lotus will lead the ensemble cast in the still-untitled mockumentary series, according to a news release shared Wednesday.
"The documentary crew that immortalised Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters," the logline for the new comedy series reads.

Like its predecessor starring Gervais, the series followed a mockumentary-style format with cast members breaking the fourth wall as a crew followed staffers around an office, capturing tedious day-to-day tasks, office romances and at-times outlandish behavior.
It is not yet known if any previous cast members will make cameos in the Peacock series, which is set to begin production in July.
