There’s a new mockumentary in town.

On Monday, May 12, NBC announced that The Office spinoff, titled The Paper, will premiere in September and shared a first look at the series, which stars Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore and follows a dying newspaper.

In the photo, Gleeson’s character Ned is standing on top of a desk speaking to his colleagues, as Impacciatore’s Esmerelda sits on top of a different desk and listens.

Oscar Nuñez, who is reprising his character from The Office in the spinoff, can be seen in the corner looking at Ned and Gbemisola Ikumelo, who will play Adelola, is staring up at Ned skeptically.

Along with the first look teaser, Gleeson, Impacciatore and Nuñez spoke about the series at NBC’s Upfront in New York City, with Gleeson explaining, “We are three members of a wonderful ensemble cast of underdog characters that are banding together to keep journalism alive.”

Impacciatore laughed at her costar’s declaration, but he continued, “My character has the unwavering optimistic belief that he can turn The Truth Teller to the glory of its heyday.”

Nuñez also spoke to the crowd about why he decided to come back to the world of The Office.

“I told Mr. Greg Daniels that if Oscar came back, he would probably be living in a more bustling, cosmopolitan city. 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,” the 66-year-old teased.

Along with Gleeson, Impacciatore and Nuñez, The Paper stars Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Ramona Young, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman and Tim Key.

The spinoff is set in the same universe as The Office, as the same documentary crew that “immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch … is in search of a new subject when they discover a historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the eager publisher that is trying to revive it,” per the official description.

After the spinoff was announced last year, Steve Carell, who led The Office as Michael Scott, confirmed that he “will be watching, but I will not be showing up” in the new series.

“It’s just a new thing and there’s really no reason for my character to show up in something like that,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “But I’m excited about it, it sounds like a great concept. I love the idea — I guess it’s set in a failing newspaper company.”

Around the same time, John Krasinski told PEOPLE he knew “nothing about it other than I think it’s taking place in a newspaper, a local newspaper and that Domhnall Gleeson, who I am working with right now, who’s the sweetest most talented guy, he’s going to crush… whatever it is… he’s going to crush it.”

Krasinski admitted that he hadn’t been asked about making an appearance, but “the truth is I’d do anything Greg Daniels asked me to do.”
