Daniels, whose producer credits include *The Office*, *The Simpsons*, and *Parks and Recreation*, along with co-creator Carell, were given a straight-to-series order for their new show, a [work place comedy]() about the men and women tasked to create the [Space Force](). The episode count and release date have not yet been announced. ![]() So far, details about the actual Space Force have yet to be determined — although the announcement has [launched the inception of hilarious memes]() — but if Netflix is smart, their new show will take a few notes from *Veep*, which is probably the most realistic depiction of government workings (you just know the government is even more balls crazy than the military — you just *know* it).
