What time is The Paper Season 2 dropping on Peacock? Global release time, what to expect, and more

The Paper (Image Via YouTube/peacock) The Paper Season 2 is returning to Peacock with another round of newsroom chaos, awkward office moments and stories from the Toledo Truth Teller. The comedy, created by Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, is set in The Office universe and follows the documentary crew as it turns its cameras toward a struggling Midwestern newspaper. Season 2 arrives on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, with all 10 episodes released together on Peacock. Peacock has confirmed the September 9 premiere and the full-season release, although the official announcement does not list a specific U.S. clock time. The commonly reported Peacock release time is 3:00 a.m. ET / 12:00 a.m. PT. In the UK, Sky has confirmed that all episodes will arrive on September 10, while Season 2 is listed for September 10 in India as well. The new season begins after the Toledo Truth Teller's success at the Ohio Journalism Awards, leaving editor-in-chief Ned Sampson under pressure to find another big story. This time, his attention turns to a local private club, and the investigation could put the newspaper in a difficult position. There is also more happening inside the newsroom. Ned and reporter Mare Pritti are trying to deal with their growing attraction, while Esmeralda is still working out where she fits as the paper continues to change. The trailer also teases unusual assignments, including a storm-chasing story, as the staff become more confident in their jobs. Domhnall Gleeson returns as Ned, alongside Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Tim Key, Ramona Young, Eric Rahill and Alex Edelman. Oscar Nuñez also returns as Oscar Martinez, bringing another familiar face from The Office into the newsroom. With all 10 episodes arriving together, viewers can watch the entire second season in one sitting rather than waiting for a weekly episode.
