Actor Steve Carell and “The Office” creator Greg Daniels are teaming up again for a new Netflix series based on President Trump’s idea for a sixth military branch: the Space Force.
In June, Trump directed the Department of Defense to create the Space Force, which he said would protect satellites and deal with any other space-related threats.
Netflix released a teaser trailer for the new series, titled “Space Force,” which Carell will star in.

“On June 18, 2018 the federal government announced the creation of a 6th major division of the United States armed forces,” the trailer reads with an image of the sun rising over the earth. “The goal of the new branch is ‘to defend satellites from attack,’ and ‘perform other space-related tasks. Or something. This is the story of the men and women who have to figure it out.”
The trailer included no clips or images about the fledgling show, nor is a timetable for its release provided.
