The new iteration of “The Office” at Peacock has found four more cast members.

Gbemisola Ikumelo (“Black Ops,” “A League Of Their Own”), Alex Edelman (“Just For Us,” “Unfrosted”), Tim Key (“The Witchfinder,” “This Time with Alan Partridge”), and Eric Rahill (“Friendship,” “The Bear”) have all joined the untitled series. They join previously announced cast members Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Melvin Gregg, Chelsea Frei, and Ramona Young.

Ikumelo, Edelman, and Rahill will also be writers on the series in addition to appearing onscreen. Exact character details are being kept under wraps. Ikumelo recently won the BAFTA Award for female performance in a comedy program for “Black Ops,” while Edelman just won an Emmy and Special Tony award for his comedy show “Just for Us.”

As has been previously reported, the show is not a reboot or spinoff of “The Office,” but rather a new mockumentary show with a new cast set in the same universe. It is rumored to be currently titled “The Paper” but no official title has been announced. The official logline states:

“The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.”

Greg Daniels, who developed the American version of “The Office” for television, is co-creating the new series with Michael Koman. Both serve as executive producers along with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who created the original British version of the series, as well as Howard Klein, Ben Silverman and Banijay Americas. Universal Television is the studio.

Daniels opened a writers’ room in January 2024 to begin working on the new iteration of the hit NBC mockumentary sitcom, which ran from 2005 to 2013. The American “Office” took place in Scranton, Penn., and followed the staff of paper company Dundler Mifflin. It starred Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Ed Helms, Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak, among others. The show has maintained its popularity long after leaving the airwaves and found new life when it became available to stream.
