NBC Pilot Buzz: ‘Stumble’ Heats Up As Peacock’s ‘The Office’ Follow-Up ‘The Paper’ Mulls Broadcast Run
NBC cheerleading comedy pilot 'Stumble' is heating up for pickup while 'The Office' Peacock followup 'The Paper' eyes a run on the broadcast network.
Set in the same world as The Office, with that series’ Oscar Nuñez reprising his role, The Paper is slated for a September premiere on Peacock, so it could potentially get a second window on NBC two months later. The untitled project from the Rutherford Falls trio of Sierra Teller Ornelas, Jackie Kaliiaa and Bobby Wilson, an ensemble comedy set at a Native community center in Oakland, CA, was the last of the three to receive a pilot green light, so it is behind Stumble in its timeline. While filling the two November half-hour slots is a priority, that is not the only comedy launch option for 2025-26, and midseason premieres are also being considered, I hear.
