Peacock Drops First Look at ‘The Paper’ Season 2, Toks Olagundoye Among Guest Cast Added

Peacock has set a return date for The Paper. The Office spinoff will be back for its second season on Wednesday, September 9, with all episodes dropping at once.

The streamer also revealed the Season 2 guest cast, which includes Toks Olagundoye, Jon Lovitz, Andy Richter, Lisa Gilroy, Matt Braunger, and Phil Hendrie.

The series stars Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Tim Key, Ramona Young, Eric Rahill, Duane Shepard Sr., Alex Edelman and Oscar Nuñez, who reprises his Office role as Oscar Martinez.

Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, the mockumentary follows the same documentary crew that once chronicled Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch, now embedded at the Toledo Truth Teller, a struggling Midwestern newspaper helmed by editor-in-chief Ned Sampson. In Season 2, after the Truth Teller sweeps the Ohio Journalism Awards, Ned sets his sights on a local private club, putting the paper in jeopardy. Meanwhile he and Mare try to figure out their attraction, Esmeralda struggles to find her place, and the staff gradually matures as reporters.
