Few sitcoms inspire the level of devotion that The Office does.

The American mockumentary, based on the UK original created by Ricky Gervais, ran from 2005 to 2013 and became a cultural phenomenon, endlessly rewatched and memed by fans who still find themselves quoting America's answer to David Brent - Michael Scott - on a regular basis.

Its mix of deadpan humour, relatable characters and documentary style intimacy made it one of the most beloved comedies and now, more than a decade after the Scranton branch shut its doors, its creators are returning to the format with a new workplace comedy.

The Paper, from the team behind the US adaptation of The Office, follows the same documentary crew that once filmed office supplies company Dunder Mifflin as they turn their cameras on a struggling Midwestern newspaper, the Toledo Truth-Teller.

With Domhnall Gleeson as its hapless editor Ned Sampson and Oscar Nuñez reprising his role as accountant Oscar Martinez, the series aims to capture the spirit of The Office while telling its own story.
