Underdogs Unite!
Domhnall Gleeson reveals the heart of the upcoming spinoff: “We are three members of a wonderful ensemble cast of underdog characters that are banding together to keep journalism alive.”
Optimism in the Newsroom
“My character has the unwavering optimistic belief that he can return ‘The Truth Teller’ to the glory of its heyday,” Gleeson shared while his costar Sabrina Impacciatore couldn’t help but laugh.
Oscar’s Big Move
“I told Mr. Greg Daniels that if Oscar came back, he would probably be living in a more bustling, cosmopolitan city,” Nuñez joked.
“Greg heard me and he moved Oscar to Toledo, Ohio – which has three times the population of Scranton. So, it was nice to be heard.”
Not Meredith 2.0
Despite his red hair, Gleeson clarified he’s playing a completely new character – not Kate Flannery’s Meredith from the original series.
“That’s a red hair joke,” he quipped.
Star-Studded Newsroom
Joining the trio are Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key in their quest to save print journalism.
Office Reunion Vibes
Angela Kinsey recently spilled that she and Jenna Fischer visited the set, reconnecting with Oscar and many crew members from the original show.
“The crew was our extended family, and we’re still really close with them, and that was really moving to see.”
Coming This Fall!
White Lotus star Impacciatore confirmed fans won’t have to wait long – the mockumentary series hits Peacock this September.
Behind the Magic
The creative team includes Office heavyweights Greg Daniels and Michael Koman as creators, writers, and executive producers, alongside original UK Office creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
