The Paper season 1 follows in the footsteps of The Office, bringing a hilarious story in a mockumentary format. Through the documentary crew's coverage, viewers gain insight into what lies behind Toledo's iconic local newspaper, the Toledo Truth Teller.

The official logline of the series reads as follows:

"The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it."

The newspaper had a glorious past, but its current status fell short of expectations. A new editor-in-chief, Ned Sampson, joins the team with the goal of bringing significant changes. He and the unusual set of reporters in his team come together to bring striking moments that promise a fun watch for the viewers.

Domhnall Gleeson stars as Sampson in the series. Other cast members include Sabrina Impacciatore as Esmeralda Grand, Chelsea Frei as Mare Pritti, Melvin Gregg as Detrick Moore, and Gbemisola Ikumelo, among others. Oscar Nuñez, who starred as Oscar Martinez in The Office, appeared in The Papers season 1 as the same character.
