Breaking news: a familiar mockumentary crew have picked their cameras back up and settled into a new office. From the creator of “The Office” comes “The Paper,” a new sitcom premiering its first four episodes Thursday, Sept. 4, on Peacock, with two new episodes streaming every Thursday through September 25. Set in a struggling Midwestern newspaper office, “The Paper” follows the news team and office staff as they try to keep the Toledo Truth-Teller alive.
Domhnall Gleeson (“The Patient”) stars as Ned Sampson, the paper’s new editor-in-chief, whose desperate, earnest attempts at reviving the paper yield Michael Scott-esque (Steve Carell, “The Big Short,” 2015) awkward moments in the newsroom. Reprising his role from “The Office” is Oscar Nunez (“The Lost City,” 2022) as accountant Oscar Martinez, who has left Scranton, Pennsylvania, behind for the slightly more cosmopolitan city of Toledo, Ohio, and a new kind of paper business.
Also starring in “The Paper” are Sabrina Impacciatore (“The White Lotus”), Chelsea Frei (“Animal Control”), Melvin Gregg (“Nine Perfect Strangers”), Gbemisola Ikumelo (“A League of Their Own”), Alex Edelman (“Unfrosted,” 2024), Ramona Young (“Never Have I Ever”) and Tim Key (“The Ballad of Wallis Island,” 2025).
Guest stars include Eric Rahill (“Friendship,” 2024), Tracy Letts (“Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty”), Molly Ephraim (“Perry Mason”), Mo Welch (“Life In Pieces”), Allan Havey (“Billions”), Duane Shepard Sr. (“American Crime Story”), Nate Jackson (“Young Rock”) and Nancy Lenehan (“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan”).
In an official trailer for the upcoming series, Ned introduces himself to the staff, who are largely unimpressed by a new regime at their floundering paper. The office exudes an energy that says, “Why try?” The company is more proud of its custodial paper products than the TruthTeller, which is used in-house as a bird cage tray liner.
Undeterred by the general malaise he’s stepped into, Ned knows what he’s working with. “It sucks,” he honestly tells one of the reporters when asked for his appraisal of the Truth Teller. “But we are going to make it better,” Ned promises. With a vision for the paper and a set of volunteers who don’t quite have the skills to execute it just yet, Ned takes stock, saying, “Seven highly motivated, tenacious Buckeyes are out there hunting for news. You’d be a fool to bet against that.”
The Truth Teller’s volunteer reporters gather their experience writing middle school essays, tweeting and participating in group chats, and set out to find stories worth telling across Toledo.
Over 10 episodes, Ned hopes to transform the paper from something that’s most useful as a janitorial product to a — readable at minimum, must-read at best — source of community news.
Gleeson, who has incidentally recently worked closely with two of the stars of “The Office” in the past — Carell in “The Patient” and John Krasinski in the 2025 Apple TV+ film “Fountain of Youth” — told People that they had similar wisdom to share with him about starring in “The Paper.”
“Their advice was, if it’s Greg Daniels, you should do it because getting to work with him is a treat that not many people get to have,” Gleeson said.
The new series comes from television legend Greg Daniels, who adapted the original British series for the American version of “The Office,” created beloved and recently rebooted animated sitcom “King of the Hill” and produced five seasons of “The Simpsons” and the whole run of “Parks and Recreation.” Co-creator of “The Paper” is Michael Koman, who also co-created “Nathan for You” on Comedy Central with Nathan Fielder (“The Rehearsal”), so expect expert cringe comedy in the upcoming series.
Daniels spoke about “The Paper” in an interview for The Hollywood Reporter’s oral history of “The Office,” explaining that the newspaper’s reduced budget has the publisher hiring volunteer reporters, an unfortunate reality of small-town local journalism today. “They’re completely untrained and they don’t know what they’re doing,” Daniels said, adding, “It’s a fruitful premise. There’s a tremendous history for local papers. The villain here is the internet and the ability to look at everybody’s news for free, and all the ad revenue going to Google.” Consistently ranked as one of the greatest sitcoms of the century so far, “The Office” has remained a top watch since it ended in 2013, whether through syndicated broadcast or streaming views, not to mention how frequently its endlessly quotable dialogue is uttered in real life. Following the success of the American adaptation, there were several international adaptations of “The Office,” including the French Canadian “La Job,” as well as versions set in France, India and Germany, to name a few.
Most adaptations aired during the American version’s run, but there has been a resurgence in international editions of “The Office,” perhaps inspired by a world affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and a workforce suffering return-towork policies. Saudi Arabia aired two seasons of their version of the show from 2022-2023, and a recent Australian adaptation, which premiered in 2024 on Prime Video, put a twist on the concept by casting the first female lead in all of “The Office” franchises, with Felicity Ward (“Time Bandits”) starring as Hannah Howard, managing director of a Sydney-based packaging company.

‘Dexter,’ ‘ANW’ and more end
By Dana Simpson TV Media
Now that the dog days of summer are behind us, we move into the dog days of summer television — that weeklong period when fan-favorite series reach their boiling point and leave audiences wanting more heat as the chillier weather rolls in.
More than ever, audiences are spoiled for choice when it comes to TV options, but one particular scripted series has had viewers in a chokehold this summer — and tensions are high headed into its final Season 1 episode, given that two previous finales within the franchise have proven disappointing. With that in mind, longtime “Dexter” fans are cautious (but hopeful) as they prepare for the Season 1 finale of the franchise’s newest series, “Dexter: Resurrection.”
Slated for release Friday, Sept. 5, on Paramount+ Premium (formerly Paramount+ with Showtime), the season’s 10th episode, titled “And Justice for All...,” may just be a make-it-orbreak-it event for some fans.
When “Dexter,” the flagship series about bloodstain pattern analyst-turned-vigilante serial killer Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall, “Six Feet Under”), first began in 2006, it was a marked success, pulling in an average of two million weekly viewers, per Reuters. The show’s reputation only improved in Season 2, but by the time the series finale aired in September 2013, viewers and critics alike had been disappointed by the “sloppy” (per Variety) and “needlessly damning” (per ScreenCrush) end to the series.
Eight years later, fans of the series had high hopes for the first of the franchise’s sequels, “Dexter: New Blood.” Once again, the series was well received overall, but the finale lacked the impact and gravitas fans had come to associate with the franchise, leading them to wonder if finales are perhaps not Dexter’s strong suit.
Now 12 years since the original “Dexter” series finale and just three and a half since the end of “New Blood,” fans are hoping they will not be let down for a third time.
“Dexter: Resurrection” sees Hall return as Dexter, this time alongside his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott, “The Good Lord Bird”), with whom he has a somewhat tumultuous relationship after a shocking encounter at the end of “New Blood.” As Dexter tries to sort matters out with his equally twisted son in New York City, the pair must outrun Miami detective Angel Batista (David Zayas, “Michael Clayton,” 2007) while facing off against a series of other foes, including rival serial killers.
Uma Thurman (“Kill Bill: Vol. 1,” 2003), Kadia Saraf (“Law & Order: Special Victim’s Unit”), Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine (“The Lincoln Lawyer”), James Remar (“Oppenheimer,” 2023) and
Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”) also star this season.
Those who simply can’t wait until Sept. 5 for some good ol’ finale fun may consider tuning in Monday, Sept. 1, to NBC for the Season 17 finale of “American Ninja Warrior.”
Entertaining audiences for more than 15 years now, the current iteration of “American Ninja Warrior” — which is based on its predecessor “American Ninja Challenge” and, in turn, on the Japanese game show “Sasuke” — follows some of the United States’ strongest athletes as they compete for the best time in a series of complicated obstacle courses. Although the series is now in its 17th season, this year’s finale looks rather different than in previous years.
The new format, which was announced this summer, spans four weeks as 60 athletes, split into 15 groups of four based on their performance in the semifinals, each compete in three side-by-side races during a bracket-style tournament. The winner from each bracket then goes on to play the other winners until the “ANW” champion is crowned on Sept. 1.
For those who prefer their unscripted television with a side of love rather than athletics, ABC airs the Season 10 “Bachelor in Paradise” finale Tuesday, Sept. 2.
Previously known for helping former Bachelor franchise still-singles find love while vacationing in Mexico, Season 10 of this love-match offshoot moved the magic to sunny Costa Rica’s Azura Beach Resort ahead of its July 7 premiere. And while some viewers aren’t thrilled about the change — one X user posted that they “miss the little crabs they show in between different segments” — the change appears to work for the cast of the unscripted romance series, which this time also includes contestants from 60-plus “The Golden Bachelor/Bachelorette” seasons.
Whether you have been rooting for a particular couple from the start or just love to tune in for the romantic chaos, this 10th season of “Bachelor in Paradise” has a little something for everyone.

Afresh wave of culinary talent steps into Bobby Flay’s (“BBQ Brawl”) competitive arena for Season 4 of “Bobby’s Triple Threat,” premiering Tuesday, Sept. 2, on Food Network, and stream the following day on HBO Max.
Hosted by celebrity chef Bobby Flay, this competition series pits some of the country’s most accomplished chefs against his elite team of titans in three intense cooking rounds.
Stepping into a spot previously held by Tiffany Derry (“The Great American Recipe”), New York chef and restaurateur Ayesha Nurdjaja (“Her Name Is Chef,” 2021) joins returning titans Michael Voltaggio (“Young & Hun-
gry”) and Brooke Williamson (“Beachside Brawl”) to “take on highly skilled competitors in three head-to-head cooking rounds with surprise featured ingredients for a chance to win $25,000” (per Food Network).
Nurdjaja’s arrival marks a major change for the series, with Flay calling her the obvious choice to join titans Voltaggio and Williamson.
“I’m excited to introduce new titan Ayesha Nurdjaja, [whom] I handpicked from the many candidates across the country,” Flay said in a statement.
Her presence, he added, has already shifted the show’s competitive energy in the kitchen.
“Her food is dynamite,” Flay said (via People). “The competing chefs underestimated who she was, which
was the greatest thing to watch, because she just brought it. It was so great.”
This season, the titans defend their kitchen against a formidable lineup of contestants, including Maneet Chauhan (“Festive Cooking with Maneet”), Dale Talde (“Buddy’s Holiday Recipe Rumble”), Jet Tila (“Family Restaurant Rivals”), Bryan Voltaggio (“24 in 24: Last Chef Standing”), Karen Akunowicz (“Top Chef”), Avishar Barua (“Top Chef”), Adrianne Calvo (“Chopped”), Martel Stone (“House of Knives”) and Michelle Wallace (“BBQ Brawl”). Flay isn’t taking it easy on the titans as he also invites top-tier competitor Nini Nguyen (“24 in 24: Last Chef Standing”) to face them in three rounds judged by culinary royalty Daniel Boulud (“The Bear”).

Fueled by their passion for music, they form a band and soon experience the highs and lows of chasing their big break. Over one unforgettable summer, they navigate the exhilaration of first love, the sting of heartbreak, the challenges of friendship and the risks of pursuing a dream that feels out of reach.

“Let the Devil In” – Season 1 A dark and haunting event that has cast a long shadow over a community for decades now comes to light when Season 1 of “Let the Devil In” premieres Sunday, Aug. 31, on MGM+. This chilling four-episode docuseries explores a decades-old tragedy that shattered one family and stirred deep fears in a small New Jersey town. For the first time, witnesses, friends and community members
come forward to unpack the mysterious events surrounding a vulnerable teenage boy who some believed to be possessed by a demonic creature.

“Blood & Myth” (2025)
Based on the Audible Original “Midnight Son,” Hulu’s “Blood & Myth” is coming to the streamer Thursday, Sept. 4. “Blood & Myth” is a haunting true crime documentary that journeys deep into the Alaskan wilderness to unravel a mystery where legend and reality blur. When a series of violent crimes
devastates a remote Inupiaq village, all evidence points to an unlikely suspect: Teddy Kyle Smith (“Wildlike,” 2014), a celebrated actor and respected member of the community. Upon capture, Teddy makes a startling claim: his actions were driven by a chilling encounter with the Inukuns, sinister beings from Inupiaq lore. In court, it’s an unbelievable story. But for journalist James Dommek Jr., who grew up hearing such tales — it strikes a nerve. Determined to uncover the truth, James embarks on a yearslong investigation, retracing Teddy’s path through the untamed Alaskan wilderness. Directed by Kahlil Hudson (“Young Men and Fire,” 2018), “Blood & Myth” is executive produced by Hudson and Isaac Kestenbaum (“POV”).
“Love Con Revenge” – Season 1 Unveiling the dark world of romance fraud, “Love Con Revenge” makes its debut Friday, Sept. 5, on Netflix with six episodes. In this new series, former romance fraud victim Cecilie Fjellhoy (“The Tinder Swindler,” 2022) joins forces with private investigator Brianne Joseph to track down scammers and help victims fight back. Each episode follows the duo as they take on cases from people who have
been deceived by their online suitors, often left without legal recourse. Drawing from Fjellhoy’s own harrowing experience — which was featured in 2022’s “The Tinder Swindler” — she and Joseph set out to expose con artists, uncover their tactics and give victims the support to reclaim control of their lives. “I never imagined my personal story would resonate the way it has,” Fjellhoy told Netflix. “Since ‘The Tinder Swindler,’ I’ve heard from people all over the world who’ve been targeted by criminals hiding behind love. ‘Love Con Revenge’ is a way for me to use what I’ve learned to help others heal, reclaim their voices, their power and their lives.” “Love Con Revenge” is directed by Max Shapira (“Inside Birmingham Children’s Hospital”), with Ruth Kelly (“Britain Behind Bars: A Secret History”) serving as executive producer.

The series is directed by award-winning filmmaker Sami Kieksi (“Logged In”) and co-written with Joni Soila (“Peter Nygard: Behind the Mask”).

Q: I’ve heard Demi Lovato and others discuss something called a Coogan account for actors. What is that?
A: A Coogan account is a trust (bank) account that parents of child actors (such as “Sonny With a Chance” star Demi Lovato) are required to create.
They’re based in what’s known as the Coogan Law, named after legendary child actor Jackie Coogan (“Oliver Twist,” 1922). The Coogan Law, also known as the California Child Actor’s Bill, was passed in 1939 and lays out the rules for how child actors are treated.
The law has been adjusted over the years and now requires that a portion of a child actor’s earnings be set aside in a trust account (a Coogan account) that cannot be accessed until they reach adulthood.
Though the law started in California, Coogan accounts are now required in several states.
Q: I just saw that Jordan Peele released a book. I didn’t recognize the title. Is he going to make a movie out of it?
A: Jordan Peele (“Get Out,” 2017) is not likely to make a movie out of his new book because it’s not just one story. And for the record, he didn’t actually write it.
“Out There Screaming” is a collection of short stories that Peele compiled and edited. It’s definitely in his cinematic wheelhouse — it describes itself as “an anthology of new Black horror,” and Peele is often credited with reviving Black horror
(horror stories revolving around African American characters and themes) as a film genre.
Despite coming to fame as a sketch comedian on his beloved show “Key and Peele,” Peele is now very much focused on horror filmmaking. Since his most recent writer-director project, 2022’s “Nope,” he’s also produced the 2025 shocker “Him.”
And he’s now in preproduction on two more: a remake of the cult-classic “The People Under the Stairs” and something so far known only as “Untitled Jordan Peele Project,” which is reportedly aiming for a fall 2026 release.
Q: What’s Danny Glover doing these days? Is there any chance he’ll do another Philip Marlowe after “Fallen Angels”?
A: First off, that’s a deep cut you’re referencing. Danny Glover did indeed play the legendary detective Philip Marlowe in an episode of the anthology series “Fallen Angels,” but that was 30 years ago. It’s not likely he’ll return to the role.
Not that he’s not still working — and busy. He’s still putting out a project every year or so, though generally he’s doing smaller roles.
For example, he played Santa Claus in the 2023 Disney movie “The Naughty Nine,” but it was a relatively small part — the film’s ensemble cast of kids did most of the work. That same year, he had a supporting role in the Italian drama “Double Soul.”
On the small screen, he popped up in a 2020 episode of “Black-ish” as Uncle Norman.
But he is still insisting that he’ll return to his most famous role, as Det. Roger Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon films, the first of which was 1987’s “Lethal Weapon.” He appeared at a couple of fan conventions in the spring alongside his co-star, Mel Gibson (“Braveheart,” 1995), talking about the status of a fifth
film in the series. Glover says he’s still on board to return to the role, and Gibson insists that the only roadblock is with the studio, Warner Bros., which has been doing a lot of restructuring.
There are reasons why he’d return to that before returning to his Marlowe role. Well, there’s really one big reason: the Lethal Weapon films are, simply, better known and thus there’s a lot more interest.
