Peacock unveiled a bold programming slate ahead for the NBCUniversal-owned streamer, headlined by the September premiere of “The Office” spinoff “The Papers” from creators Greg Daniels and Michael Koman.
The comedy series, starring attendees Domhnall Gleeson (“About Time”), Sabrina Impacciatore (“The White Lotus”) and Oscar Nunez (“The Office”), unveiled a first look as part of NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation on Monday.

An exact premiere date is yet to be revealed.
The show headlines a slate presentation for the streamer, which also boasted new unscripted releases and interactive features to come for their livestreams of NBA games starting this fall. The company also touted its streamer’s first-to-stream deal with Universal Pictures with upcoming releases like “Jurassic Word: Rebirth,” “Wicked for Good” and “MEGAN 2.0.”
A performance from Seth Meyers, celebrating “Ted” Season 2 kicked off the presentation with the help of stars from upcoming Peacock shows including Amy Poehler, reuniting with Mike Schur for the comedy “Dig,” Keke Palmer (“The Burbs”) and Elizabeth Banks (“The Miniature Wife.”
Tiffany Haddish also took the stage to promote the release of her new docuseries, “Tiffany Haddish Goes Off.” The six-part docuseries chronicles a trip between the comedian and a few friends to Africa, where they embark on a journey of self-dicovery and connection.
