Peacock has officially announced fall premiere dates for several upcoming television projects, including season two of The Paper, the Friday the 13th prequel series Crystal Lake, and the crime drama The Good Daughter. According to Deadline, the streaming platform revealed the premiere schedule as part of its upcoming programming slate for the 2026 television season. 

Season two of The Paper will premiere in September and is created by Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation) and Michael Koman (Nathan for You, Saturday Night Live). The mockumentary comedy exists within the same universe as NBC’s The Office starring Steve Carell (Despicable Me, The Morning Show) and follows the documentary crew that previously filmed the employees of Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch. 

In the new series, the crew discovers a struggling Toledo newspaper called The Truth Teller while searching for a new documentary subject. The series stars Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina About Time), Sabrina Impacciatore (The Last Kiss, The White Lotus), Chelsea Frei (The Moodys, The Addams Family), Melvin Gregg (Snowfall, The Way Back), Gbemisola Ikumelo (Famalam, Brain in Gear), Alex Edelman (Unfrosted, Teenage Bounty Hunters), Ramona Young (Never Have I Ever, Blockers), and Tim Key (The Ballad of Wallis Island, The Double). Daniels and Koman executive produce the series alongside Ricky Gervais (The Office, The Invention of Lying), Stephen Merchant (The Office, The Outlaws), Howard Klein (The Office, Late Night), and Ben Silverman (The Office, Ugly Betty). 

Meanwhile, Crystal Lake is set to premiere on October 15. Linda Cardellini (DTF St. Louis, Dead to Me) stars as Pamela Voorhees, the iconic character from the Friday the 13th franchise. Additional cast members include William Catlett (Forever, Abigail), Devin Kessler (Godfather of Harlem, Juicy), Cameron Scoggins (Caddo Lake, Shades of Blue), and Gwendolyn Sundstrom (Life Cycle 63, I’m Beginning to See the Light). The series is expected to follow Pamela Voorhees before the events of the original films as she deals with the loss of her son after sacrificing her singing career to raise him.

The limited crime drama The Good Daughter will premiere on November 12 and stars Rose Byrne (Platonic, Bridesmaids), Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus, Drop), Brendan Gleeson (Calvary, The Guard), and Harper Steele (The Spoils of Babylon, Saturday Night Live). The series follows sisters Charlotte and Samantha Quinn as they attempt to rebuild their lives nearly three decades after a violent tragedy changed their family forever. When another attack shakes their hometown of Pikeville, Charlotte becomes the first witness at the scene. 

Karin Slaughter (Will Trent, Pieces of Her) serves as the writer and executive producer of the series alongside Bruna Papandrea (The Nightingale, Big Little Lies), Steve Hutensky (The Nightingale, The Dry), Casey Haver (Nine Perfect Strangers, Tell Me Your Secrets), and Byrne.
