The Cast Of Netflix’s Space Force Includes So Many Familiar Faces & A Famous Canadian

Ready for your next adventure? A brand new comedy series is coming our way this week and it's set to be a star-studded experience. You can look forward to seeing Steve Carell in his most recent series since The Office, and the Space Force Netflix cast also includes a Canadian actor who's been in so many of your favourite sitcom shows. 

The 10 episodes of season one premiere on May 29 and follow the stories of the "people tasked with creating a sixth branch of the armed services: The Space Force," per IMDb.

Creators Greg Daniels and Steve Carell also worked together on The Office, so you can expect similar levels of satirical humour to get you giggling.

Carell stars as General Mark R. Naird, a decorated pilot who has big dreams of one day being head of the Air Force. 

Deadline claims that Naird gets trapped into being the leader of The Space Force where he's tasked by the White House to get Americans on the moon again in order to take over.

The star-studded cast acting alongside Carell includes Canadian actor Don Lake who plays Brad Gregory. He was born in Toronto in 1956 and is an alumnus of the Second City theatre group in 1982, per IMDb.
