Cast members include Hollywood actors Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, and Oscar Nunez.
Peacock announced that the show will debut in September, with an exact premiere date to be revealed later.

In the trailer shown at the presentation, it was revealed that the show is set in the offices of the Toledo Truth-Teller.
As the documentary crew navigates the office, they discover that Oscar (Nunez) now works as an accountant at the paper and is not thrilled to see the documentary crew again.
Sabrina Impacciatore plays the managing editor, while Hollywood actor Domhnall Gleeson portrays an idealistic new employee.
