Oscar Nuñez returns as Oscar Martinez in the upcoming spin-off series The Paper, which follows the documentary crew from The Office as they transition to a struggling newspaper in Toledo, Ohio. The character's move reflects a more cosmopolitan setting compared to Scranton, due to direct feedback given to creator Greg Daniels from Nuñez. The series promises to explore new dynamics with a diverse cast and touches on the challenges faced by journalists in a changing media landscape, while also revisiting Oscar's narrative and experiences.
I told [creator] Greg Daniels that if Oscar came back, he would probably be living in a more bustling, cosmopolitan city.
The documentary crew that immortalised Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch is in search of a new subject, when they discover a historic midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.
Greg heard me and moved Oscar to Toledo, which has three times the population of Scranton. It was nice to be heard.
Oscar's character's sexuality was a significant part of his story, with various controversial and humorous moments in the original series.
