The next show in The Office universe has a name and release date.

NBCUniversal has announced that the new mockumentary will be called The Paper. It will premiere on Peacock in September.

While The Paper won’t focus on the employees working at Dunder Mifflin, it is set in the same universe as The Office. This new show will feature the same documentary crew that immortalized the workers at the Scranton branch as they search for a new subject to follow.

They find their subject in a historic Midwestern newspaper and its publisher, played by Domhnall Gleeson, who is stopping at nothing to revive it.

It may be a brand-new show, but one cast member from The Office carries over to The Paper. Oscar Nuñez, who played Oscar Martinez on the beloved sitcom, is a series regular on The Paper. He will reprise his same role on this new show.

Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young and Tim Key also star in the upcoming sitcom.

Amber Heard is officially a mom of three.

In a heartfelt Mother’s Day post shared on Instagram on Sunday, the Aquaman actress announced the birth of her twins — daughter Agnes and son Ocean.

“Mother’s Day 2025 will be one I’ll never forget,” Heard wrote alongside a sweet photo of her newborns’ feet resting on a baby mattress.

“This year I am elated beyond words to celebrate the completion of the family I’ve strived to build for years,” she continued. “Today I officially share the news that I welcomed twins into the Heard gang. My daughter Agnes and my son Ocean are keeping my hands (and my heart) full.”

“When I had my first baby girl Oonagh four years ago, my world changed forever. I thought I couldn’t possibly burst with more joy. Well, now I am bursting times three!!!”

Heard went to reflect on the deeply personal and empowering journey to motherhood.

“Becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges has been the most humbling experience of my life,” she wrote. “I am eternally grateful that I was able to choose this responsibly and thoughtfully. To all the moms, wherever you are today and however you got here, my dream family and I are celebrating with you. Love always, A x.”

In addition to the twins, Heard is already a mom to daughter, Oonagh, whom she welcomed in 2021. Heard has not publicly identified the father of Oonagh, whom Heard claims she brought into the world on her “own terms,” alluding to surrogacy, in a post on Instagram.

Heard was previously married to actor Johnny Depp from 2015 to 2016, finalizing their divorce in 2017. She later dated Elon Musk before they went separate ways in 2018.

In 2022, Heard and Depp were involved in a widely publicized defamation trial.

Demi Moore and Colman Domingo are teaming up for a new film.

The duo will star in the upcoming Roger Ross Williams-directed film Strange Arrivals, production company See-Saw Films announced Friday.

According to Deadline, the film is inspired by the true story of Betty and Barney Hill, an interracial couple who claimed they were abducted by extraterrestrials in 1961, on their way back from a trip to Niagara Falls.

Williams took to Instagram on Friday to share the news about Strange Arrivals, writing in the caption that he was “so thrilled to be working with @see_saw_films on my second feature film, led by the incredible @kingofbingo and the phenomenal @demimoore.”

“I couldn’t have asked for two more extraordinary actors,” he continued.

Williams praised Jane Anderson, the screenwriter for the project, and called her script “masterful,” saying he “fell in love” with it the first time he read it.

“She has brilliantly woven together history, science fiction, and a tragic love story,” he added. “I couldn’t be in better hands than with producers Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, Samantha Lang, and Anne Carey.”

Williams also revealed that the film is based off “a wonderful podcast” of the same name by Toby Ball.

Moore and Domingo were both nominated for Academy Awards earlier this year.

Moore was nominated for best actress for her performance in The Substance, while Domingo was nominated for best actor for his role in Sing Sing.

Domingo was also nominated in 2024 for the same category, for his role in Rustin.

Good Morning America has reached out to Domingo and Moore for comment on the upcoming film.
