Netflix’s long-awaited Space Force is almost ready to blast off.
The upcoming workplace comedy will see a group of individuals attempt to get Americans back on the moon through President Donald Trump’s Space Force military branch. While fans are excited to see seasoned TV comedy creator Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks and Recreation, King of the Hill) bring the new series to life, they are also pumped about the energized cast.
While you’ll have to wait until May 29 to watch the new series, there are many other shows you can watch with the cast members right now. Here are 10 other series featuring the cast of Space Force.
10 Steve Carell: The Office
Steve Carell is front and center in Space Force. He not only co-created the series, but stars as four-star Gen. Mark R. Naird. While Naird previously hoped to take charge of the Air Force, he is now helping to establish the newest military branch.
