The Office was a very successful show for NBCUniversal so, in the current climate, it seemed only a matter of time before we’d get a spin-off. The Paper launched on Peacock and it was soon renewed for a second season. While we don’t have to wonder if it will be cancelled, it’s unknown if season two will also air on NBC. Will it return to the peacock network for a second year? Stay tuned.
A mockumentary series, The Paper TV show was created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman. A spin-off of The Office, the program stars Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo,Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key, and Oscar Nunez. Set in Toledo, Ohio, the story follows the same documentary crew that followed workers at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. This time they’re following those who are trying to save the Toledo Truth Teller, a declining Midwestern newspaper. Ned Sampson (Gleeson) is the paper’s new editor-in-chief and Esmeralda Grand (Impacciatore), the brash managing editor. Others include compositor Mare Pritti (Frei); ad sales rep Detrick Moore (Gregg); accountants Adelola Olofin (Ikumelo) and Adam Cooper (Edelman); circulation department staffer Nicole Lee (Young); corporate strategist Ken Davies (Key); and head accountant Oscar Martinez (Nunez), who previously worked at Dunder Mifflin in Scranton.
Nielsen Ratings
The Nielsen ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart is updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
