Netflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming space spoof TV series starring Steve Carell. “Space Force” will premiere later this month on the Netflix streaming service and will be available to watch from May 29th, 2020.
“A four-star general begrudgingly teams up with an eccentric scientist to get the U.S. military’s newest agency — Space Force — ready for lift-off. From the crew that brought you The Office, Space Force is coming soon to Netflix.”
The Creative Minds Behind Space Force
“Space Force” has been created by Greg Daniels and Steve Carell, the same duo that brought us the beloved TV series “The Office.” Greg Daniels is known for his work on other successful shows such as “Parks and Recreation” and “King of the Hill,” while Steve Carell has made a name for himself not only as a comedic actor but also as a producer and writer. Their collaboration on “Space Force” promises to bring a unique blend of humor and satire to the new series.
The show stars Steve Carell as General Mark R. Naird, a decorated pilot with dreams of running the Air Force, who is thrown for a loop when he is tasked with leading the newly formed sixth branch of the U.S. Armed Forces: Space Force. Alongside Carell, the series features an impressive ensemble cast including John Malkovich, who plays Dr. Adrian Mallory, the eccentric scientist who partners with General Naird. Ben Schwartz, known for his role in “Parks and Recreation,” plays F. Tony Scarapiducci, a media consultant for Space Force. Diana Silvers and Tawny Newsome also star, adding depth and diversity to the cast.
What to Expect from Space Force
The premise of “Space Force” is both timely and satirical, reflecting the real-life establishment of the United States Space Force as an independent military branch in December 2019. The show aims to explore the absurdities and challenges of setting up a new military branch dedicated to space operations, all while delivering a heavy dose of comedy.
The trailer hints at a series filled with humorous situations, quirky characters, and a satirical take on the bureaucratic and political hurdles involved in such a monumental task. For instance, General Naird’s struggle to gain respect and authority in his new role, coupled with Dr. Mallory’s unconventional scientific methods, sets the stage for a series of comedic conflicts and resolutions.
Moreover, the show is expected to delve into the personal lives of its characters, providing a more rounded narrative. General Naird’s relationship with his family, particularly his teenage daughter Erin (played by Diana Silvers), adds an emotional layer to the story. The series also touches on themes of ambition, duty, and the often ridiculous nature of bureaucratic processes.
The production quality of “Space Force” is another aspect to look forward to. With Netflix backing the project, viewers can expect high-quality visuals, special effects, and set designs that bring the concept of a space military branch to life. The show’s creators have likely spared no expense in ensuring that the series is both visually appealing and engaging.
In conclusion, “Space Force” is shaping up to be a must-watch series for fans of comedy and satire. With its talented cast, experienced creators, and timely subject matter, the show promises to deliver a unique and entertaining viewing experience. Mark your calendars for May 29th, 2020, and get ready to embark on a hilarious journey with General Naird and his team as they navigate the final frontier.
