The Paper, a mockumentary series from Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, will boast an all-star cast led by Domhnall Gleeson (The Patient).

A production source said: “The documentary crew that immortalised Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in the Emmy Award-winning series The Office find a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.”
