Peacock renewed 'The Paper' before Season 1 dropped

Peacock ordered Season 2 of 'The Paper' one day before all ten episodes of Season 1 were released, per the platform's blog — a straight-to-series renewal, meaning no pilot was shot and the platform committed without waiting to measure the first run's performance. The mockumentary, co-created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, returns 9 September 2025.
