As a successor of The Office, in The Paper, The Truth Teller is a historic but faltering Midwestern newspaper in Toledo, Ohio, that is attempting to revive itself with the help of volunteer reporters. The show's creative team and large cast, however, have already prompted parallels to The Office and Parks and Recreation, two shows that have maintained large fan bases and cultural significance and continue to attract viewers.
With its India premiere scheduled for JioHotstar, The Paper is currently one of the most talked-about comedy premieres of 2025 at Peacock and signifies yet another big crossover in the streaming industry.
