The Office Spin-Off Series Just Revealed Oscar’s Fate After the Show
The Paper is in the works at Peacock. What does The Office spin-off have in store for Oscar? The first look reveals more than you think.
12 years ago we said goodbye to our beloved cast of The Office. The series continues to grow and attract new generations of viewers.
And you already know when the show is this successful, Hollywood just can't let it go. Now they are ready to revisit this universe with a spin-off The Paper.
Peacock released the first look and we've spotted none other than Oscar himself.

The first look has revealed Oscar lurking in the background at what appears to be, you guessed it, another desk job. The discovery makes us kind of sad considering where we last left our favorite accountant.
When we parted ways with Oscar in 2013, he was planning to become a state senator, determined to make a drastic career change. It was no secret that Oscar hated his job and wanted a change, but The Paper got him right back into “the machine.”
Surely, knowing The Office and Oscar himself, there's bound to be an entertaining explanation behind this career trajectory. But it still is a bitter detail.
What Is The Paper Going to Be About?

Now that we've talked about the familiar face, let's see what The Paper is all about. The official logline says:
“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.”
It seems like we're getting into the journalist's territory with this one. One enthusiastic publisher preaching to a group of somewhat unimpressed co-workers with Oscar's trademark shadiness? We're here for it. But what do others think?
Fans Are Cautiously Optimistic About Peacock’s The Paper

"I don't see how or why is it a bonus to make it be in the same universe. But domhall gleeson is f**king fantastic, I might give this a chance just because of him," Redditor InsertFloppy11 wrote.
“There's definitely major potential here. With Oscar returning as the same character, there's potential for guest star spots for former cast members. The people making it have strong sitcom credentials. With a good cast, this could be a good show. I'll give it a chance,” Redditor Responsible-Onion860 shared.
The Paper: The Office Spin-Off Release Date
The Paper is set to premiere September 2025.
