Fans of The Office are in for a nostalgic twist with this new mockumentary. Peacock’s The Paper shifts from Scranton to the Midwest, following a struggling local newspaper trying to keep journalism alive with volunteer reporters.

A powerful music mogul finds himself at the center of a ransom plot that forces him into an impossible choice between protecting his family and preserving his empire. Packed with moral dilemmas, betrayal, and industry intrigue, Highest to Lowest feels like a mix of Empire drama with the pulse of a Hollywood thriller. It’s a gritty look at what happens when power, money, and loyalty collide. After a limited theatrical run, it’s now available to stream on Apple TV+.
Netflix’s Unknown Number: The High School Catfish is a chilling docuseries fusing true crime and teen drama. A teenage girl and her boyfriend endure relentless harassment from an anonymous caller, but when investigators dig deeper, the truth isn’t what anyone expected.
