Steve Carell is the boss once again, this time, for Netflix’s new comedy series Space Force. If you were fans of Steve Carell’s portrayal of Michael Scott in The Office or the show’s distinct comedy, then you will be happy to know that you can expect the same writing, since Greg Daniels has returned to pen down the script for Space Force as well.

The show is based on President Donald Trump’s newest branch of the military. Four-star general Mark R. Naird, played by Carell, has been assigned to lead the newly formed sixth branch of the US Armed Forces: Space Force. Now Naird and his team of scientists and astronauts will need to do their best to get Americans back on the moon.
