10 episodes have already been ordered of the series that is being co-created by Steve Carrell and Greg Daniels. The latter is also set to serve as showrunner.
Six cast members have now been announced and will star alongside Carrell.

He will lead the new branch of Armed Forces that will also employ chief scientific advisor, Dr. Adrian Mallory, played by John Malkovich.
Ben Schwartz of Parks and Recreation will also join the show as a self-centred media advisor, F. Tony Scarapiducci.
Tawny Newsome, Diana Silvers, Jimmy O. Yang, and Alex Sparrow make up the rest of the recently-announced cast.
Space Force is scheduled to premiere in 2020.
