A synopsis for the series reads, \"The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch in the Emmy Award-winning series 'The Office' find a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.\"

The ensemble cast includes Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young and Tim Key.

\"I hope it's not too disruptive to have me come in and sort of shake everything up,\" Gleeson's character Ned says in one scene from the trailer, speaking with Impacciatore's character.

\"Oh, no, no, don't be so self-defecating,\" Impacciatore's character says confidently in return, prompting Ned to side-eye the camera.

Also part of the new series is \"The Office\" star Oscar Nuñez, who reprises his role as Oscar Martinez.

\"Not again,\" Oscar says in the trailer, when he sees the documentary crew arrive. \"I'm not agreeing to any of this.\"

\"The Paper\" premieres its first four episodes on Sept. 4. Two new episodes drop every Thursday through Sept. 25.
