Steve Carell Comedy Based off Trump's Space Force Ordered by Netflix

It's described as a workplace comedy centered around the people tasked with creating a sixth branch of the armed services

If anyone can figure out what the heck Space Force is supposed to be... maybe it's Steve Carell.

Carell is reteaming with "The Office" creator Greg Daniels for a Netflix series inspired by President Trump's plan for a space force as the sixth branch of the military.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Netflix delivered a straight-to-series order for "Space Force", which will star Carell. It's described as a workplace comedy centered around the people tasked with creating a sixth branch of the armed services — Space Force. 

Carell's salary for "Space Force" — including co-creator and exec producer fees — sets a new overall record for talent, likely topping the $1 million per episode paydays that the cast of CBS' The Big Bang Theory previously netted, according to the Hollywood reporter.
