Netflix has released more details about its upcoming new science-fiction spoof, Netflix Space Force, starring Steve Carell. Netflix describes the new TV series as a “comedy about the people tasked with creating Space Force, a new branch of the U.S. military”. This show promises to blend humor with a satirical take on the real-life establishment of the United States Space Force, providing a unique and entertaining perspective on the subject.
A trailer for the new science-fiction spoof Netflix TV series was released last year but until now very few details have been released. Space Force will premiere on the Netflix streaming service late next month and will be available to watch from May 29th, 2020 onwards. “Steve Carell is the head of Space Force, the newly formed sixth branch of the US Armed Forces.” This role marks a significant return to television for Carell, who is best known for his iconic role as Michael Scott in “The Office.”
Space Force has been created by Greg Daniels and Steve Carell, starring Carell, John Malkovich, Ben Schwartz, Diana Silvers, and Tawny Newsome. The collaboration between Daniels and Carell is particularly noteworthy, as the duo previously worked together on “The Office,” which has become a beloved staple in the world of television comedy.
Star-Studded Cast and Creative Team
The cast of Space Force is packed with talent. John Malkovich, known for his versatile acting skills, brings a unique flair to the series. Ben Schwartz, famous for his role as Jean-Ralphio in “Parks and Recreation,” adds his comedic touch. Diana Silvers, who has been making waves in Hollywood with her performances in “Booksmart” and “Ma,” and Tawny Newsome, known for her work in “Bajillion Dollar Propertie$,” round out the main cast. Additionally, Lisa Kudrow, best known for her role as Phoebe Buffay on “Friends,” joins the ensemble, adding even more star power to the show.
The creative team behind Space Force is equally impressive. Greg Daniels, who has a long history of creating successful TV shows such as “Parks and Recreation” and “King of the Hill,” brings his expertise to the project. His collaboration with Steve Carell ensures that the series will have a strong comedic foundation, while also exploring the absurdity and challenges of establishing a new military branch dedicated to space.
Plot and Themes
Space Force centers around the efforts to establish the sixth branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, focusing on the challenges and comedic situations that arise in the process. The show aims to satirize the bureaucratic and political hurdles involved in such an endeavor, while also highlighting the personal dynamics and relationships among the characters.
The series will likely explore themes such as the clash between scientific innovation and military objectives, the absurdity of certain bureaucratic processes, and the personal ambitions and conflicts of the characters involved. By blending humor with these themes, Space Force aims to provide both entertainment and a thought-provoking commentary on contemporary issues.
