Steve Carell returns to TV with 'Office' creator for Netflix's 'Space Force'

Steve Carell is making his triumphant return to television (sort of).

Carell is set to star in upcoming Netflix comedy series Space Force, which is co-created by Carell and The Office's showrunner Greg Daniels, Netflix revealed in a teaser trailer Wednesday.

Space Force is inspired by President Donald Trump in which he expressed interest in creating a new branch of the U.S. military called the Space Force. The show would focus on the people who have to make Trump's dream come true.

Space Force will undoubtedly be steeped in political satire, given its premise, but just like The Office that came before it, Space Force is described as a workplace comedy. No word yet on whether there will be any budding romances between coworkers, or what exactly Carell's role will be.

We do know that Carell is going to be making a pretty penny on this show according to a report from The Hollywood Report, which claims the star's salary is record-setting and likely beating out the salary of the stars of The Big Bang Theory, each of whom were taking in $1 million per episode.

This is Carell's first big role in a series since he left The Office as a regular in 2011. He has recently starred in Welcome to Marwen, Beautiful Boy, and voiced the character Gru in the Despicable Me movies.

We don't know when Space Force is coming out, but Netflix did say "coming soon," so fingers crossed that it actually is soon.
