Netflix has saved at least one of their original shows for another season – Space Force.

The series, starring Steve Carell, John Malkovich, Lisa Kudrow, and many more, will be coming back for a second season, following their first debuted earlier this summer.

The parody comedy series centers on a decorated pilot with dreams of running the Air Force, four-star general Mark R. Naird (Carell) who’s 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.

While fans have pointed out that Netflix has cancelled many of their faves on the streaming service, Netflix didn’t cancel this other original show either.

Recently, Lisa got candid about how she didn’t know Space Force was actually a real thing that was happening. See what she said here…
