The show will feature the same documentary crew as The Office, but this time they’re following the exploits of a small town newspaper. As the official logline explains, “the crew 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.” Greg Daniels, showrunner on The Office, and Michael Koman — best-known as a writer on Nathan for You and Late Night with Conan O’Brien — are serving as writers and executive producers.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Daniels said that “the villain here is the internet and the ability to look at everybody’s news for free, and all the ad revenue going to Google.”
Meanwhile, the cast includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key, and Oscar Nuñez.
