The Paper is a spin-off set in the universe of the original mockumentary, centered around a struggling newspaper in Toledo. The series showcases the challenges faced by the publication, incorporating elements of humor relevant to the media industry. Domhnall Gleeson plays the new editor-in-chief, whose team includes inexperienced reporters. The trailer, while containing some clever nods, lacks the humorous punch expected from its predecessors, raising questions about its comedic effectiveness. Óscar Núñez reprises his role as Oscar, delivering a standout moment that aligns with the show's comedic tone.
One example is when a writer shows the crew an article she's proud of, and it's covered in intrusive advertisements without much actual article text.
The new editor-in-chief, played by Domhnall Gleeson, asks his group of volunteer reporters if any of them have any media experience, and one guy says that he "tweets."
The best part of the trailer comes when its ties become much more obvious. Óscar Núñez is reprising his role as Oscar, and his fleeting seconds of screentime in the trailer are its funniest.
The new series follows the staff of the struggling Toledo publication and is shot in a mockumentary style, intended to capture the spirit of the original.
