NBC’s added two half-hour comedies to its fall 2025 lineup beginning in November. The critically acclaimed Peacock comedy The Paper will make its broadcast debut on November 10th, with episodes airing on Mondays at 8:30pm ET/PT. Season two of St. Denis Medical will lead into it at 8pm, and The Voice will follow at 9pm.
Stumble, a cheerleading comedy, premieres on NBC on Friday, November 7th at 8:30pm ET/PT. Happy’s Place season two will air on Fridays at 8pm.
“Knowing how much The Office was beloved by a broadcast audience when it aired on NBC, we wanted to give The Paper a similar opportunity to connect,” stated Lisa Katz, President, Scripted Programming, NBCU Entertainment. “One of the strengths of our company is meeting fans where they are by delivering shows across multiple platforms to maximize exposure and engagement.”
The Paper, which currently sits as Peacock’s second-highest comedy premiere, was renewed on September 3, 2025. Per Peacock: “The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in the Emmy Award-winning series The Office find a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.”
Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, and Gbemisola Ikumelo star along with Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key, and Oscar Nuñez.
Stumble, described as “a mockumentary about the ridiculously high stakes competitive world of junior college cheer,” stars Jenn Lyon, Taran Killam, Ryan Pinkston, and Jarrett Austin Brown. The cast also includes Anissa Borrego, Arianna Davis, Taylor Dunbar, and Georgie Murphy, with Kristin Chenoweth appearing in a recurring role.
