Television creators Greg Daniels, known for adapting the US version of The Office, and Michael Koman discuss their new spin-off series, The Paper. This new show, set in a newsroom and described as a spiritual successor to The Office, is now available for streaming in its entirety on JioHotstar.
Daniels and Koman reflect on the significant changes in media consumption since The Office first aired two decades ago. They note the shift from traditional weekly broadcasts with advertisements to on-demand streaming, and observe a recent trend where streaming services are reintroducing commercials, including non-skippable formats, mirroring classic television. Daniels also acknowledges the existence of an Indian adaptation of The Office.
A personal connection to the original series is highlighted as Koman’s wife, Ellie Kemper, played Erin Hannon in The Office.
