Going where no comedy has gone before

Steve Carell has already conquered the cut-throat pa♉per industry of north-east America – and now he’s setting his sights on the stars. New Netflix series Space Force reunites the actor with The Office producer Greg Daniels for a workplace comedy that’s worlds away from Dunder Mifflin.

The synopsis 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 tea𒁃m of scientists and “Spacemen” are tasked by the White House w൲ith getting American boots on the moon (again) in a hurry and achieving total space dominance.”

So, not your usual 9-5, to put it mildly, though the premise sounds like ౠthe perfect slice of surreal escapism from our troubled times.

Carell will act opposite Friends actor Lisa Kudrow, who plays 🌳his wife, Maggie. They’re joined by the likes of Ben Schwartz, John Malkovich, Tawny Newcome, and Booksmart’s Diana Silvers in what’s certain to b💝e a series that’ll rocket to the top of your watchlist when it drops on May 29.

Until then, whet what is probably already an astronomical app𒊎etite with this series of images from the show, loosely based on the real-life move towꩵards creating a U.S Space Force.
