New Netflix comedy with Steve Carell

Lisa Kudrow has joined the cast of Space Force, the new Netflix comedy from Steve Carell and Greg Daniels, his former showrunner on The Office.

The former Friends actress will play Maggie Naird, the wife of Carell’s character Mark, an air force general.

According to the streaming service, Maggie ‘has sublimated parts of herself to her husband’s career for two decades. But as he takes on his biggest challenge, she is growing in a different direction’.

The plot has Mark uprooting his family to a remote base in Colorado to lead the newly-formed sixth branch of the US armed forces: Space Force.

He and a colourful team of scientists and ‘Spacemen’ are tasked by the White House with getting American boots on the moon (again) and achieving total space dominance.

Carell and Daniels co-created the workplace comedy, which also stars John Malkovich, Diana Silvers, Tawny Newsome and Ben Schwartz.
