Netflix's comedy series Space Force appears to be a satirical take on American President Donald Trump's creation of the same name, which is the sixth branch of the US Armed Forces. Space Force is created by The Office (US version) creator Greg Daniels and actor Steve Carrell. Besides Carrell, the show also stars John Malkovich, Ben Schwartz, Diana Silvers and Tawny Newsome.
Steve Carrell plays the role of Chief of Space Operations General Mark R Naird in Space Force.
John Malkovich, who can be seen in HBO's The New Pope, is also part of Space Force's cast.
Diana Silvers plays an important role in Space Force.
The official synopsis of Space Force reads, "A decorated pilot with dreams of running the Air Force, four-star general Mark R. Naird (Steve Carell) is thrown for a loop when he finds himself tapped to lead the newly formed sixth branch of the US Armed Forces: Space Force. Skeptical but dedicated, Mark uproots his family and moves to a remote base in Colorado where he and a colorful team of scientists and “Spacemen” are tasked by the White House with getting American boots on the moon (again) in a hurry and achieving total space dominance. From co-creators Carell and Greg Daniels (The Office), SPACE FORCE is a new kind of workplace comedy, where the stakes are sky high and the ambitions even higher. John Malkovich, Diana Silvers, Tawny Newsome, Ben Schwartz also star, alongside co-stars Lisa Kudrow, Jimmy O. Yang, Noah Emmerich, Alex Sparrow and Don Lake. Howard Klein/3Arts (The Office) serves as executive producer, with Daniels as showrunner."
The series, with its cast and creative team, looks like a blast so far.
