It’s been over 10 years since The Workplace ended after 9 seasons, however a brand new sequence is lastly on the best way, both on the 2025 TV schedule or in 2026. Streaming quickly for these with a Peacock subscription, The Paper will see the Dunder Mifflin documentary crew setting their sights on a dying newspaper within the Midwest. Though it’ll embody a brand new solid, The Workplace alum Oscar Nuñez can be returning as Oscar Martinez, so there are some connections to the unique.
Now, his former co-stars Steve Carell and John Krasinski are placing the work in and might’t cease advocating for the spinoff. This is what we all know.
The Recommendation John Krasinski And Steve Carell Gave Domhnall Gleeson
Domhnall Gleeson, who’s starring in The Paper, advised Individuals he has really acquired recommendation from Krasinski main into the upcoming gig. The A Quiet Place star initially portrayed Jim Halpert on all 9 seasons of the NBC sitcom, and extra not too long ago handed the torch to Gleeson. The truth is, he gave him some easy (however actually nice) recommendation that basically appeared to go a good distance:
He was great. I imply, his huge recommendation that he gave me was to do it.
Krasinski isn’t the one particular person associated to the unique sequence who provided recommendation. After starring as regional supervisor Michael Scott for the primary seven seasons, Carell gave Gleeson the same observe when he was contemplating the function. Each The Workplace stars principally advised Gleeson to not move up the prospect.
And the identical with Steve Carell, one other simply great actor who I might labored with earlier than. And their recommendation was, if it is Greg Daniels, you need to do it as a result of attending to work with him is a deal with that not many individuals get to have.
Gleeson admitted he was “pleased” he did the sequence, noting he thinks they’ve “one thing actually pretty.” Though doing a reboot, revival, or spinoff of a sequence that’s so beloved and hasn’t been on for some time can generally be a bit dangerous, it feels like everybody was actually supportive from the unique present.
It is a signal that hopefully The Paper goes to be particular. No less than I am inclined to imagine it given how a lot Steve Carell has been going round these days advocating for the spinoff. Somebody has to do the work!

Oh, nicely, any – I feel with Greg Daniels, you’re in excellent form when it comes to any kind of present, so I’m positive it’s gonna be unbelievable.
Regardless of The Workplace almost getting canceled after solely six episodes, the present stays a favourite amongst followers at present. After all, any sequence, particularly if it’s a reboot or revival, is usually a hit or a miss. And it will likely be very arduous to match the vitality and magic that was The Workplace.
That being mentioned, since Daniels is behind The Paper as nicely, that ought to deliver a bit of bit of pleasure to followers. And whereas I can not assure it will likely be good, on the very least, it’s going to be a present followers will need to take an opportunity on.
