Greg Daniels and Michael Koman’s highly-anticipated “The Office” spinoff series “The Paper” has hit the Peacock newsstands, and we’re here to break down the first season’s release schedule.
Just weeks ahead of the show’s premiere, Peacock announced that it would shift the mockumentary-style show from a weekly release to a binge drop, which means fans won’t have to wait for the next episode installment to land on the streamer.
The series follows a hilarious but whacky newspaper filled with a newsroom of non-journalists and a new editor-in-chief who’s confident he can get the paper back on track.
Here’s the full episode release schedule below.
When does “The Paper” premiere?
“The Paper” makes its debut premiere on Peacock on Thursday, Sept. 4.
When do new episodes air?
All episodes of “The Paper” will be available to stream on Peacock on Thursday, Sept. 4.
Originally, “The Paper was set to drop the first four episodes of the series before going into a staggered release schedule. But the show announced it would be shifting to a binge release on Aug. 21.
