The Paper (PILOT)

Peacock returns to the Office-verse with The Paper. Set in a Toledo, Ohio newsroom, the 32-minute pilot introduces a new cast (besides Oscar) and follows Ned Sampson, a freshly minted editor in chief with big ideals, as he tries to ditch clickbait and data mining for real local reporting. After meeting the oddball staff, he clashes with the former interim managing editor, sparking a turf war over what a modern paper should be.On the pod, we compare it to other NBC classics like The Office and Parks & Rec, plus the recent successful St. Denis Medical.
