A lot has happened in the world since May of 2020 — including, apparently, production on Season 2 of “Space Force.”
With the cold response from critics, it feels a bit surprising that Netflix renewed so quickly. Sophie Gilbert of The Atlantic said it was “so strange and ill-conceived and ill-timed that not even Carell’s avuncular bonhomie can save it. For all its cinematic trappings, ‘Space Force’ is a series with a single joke running through it, and that joke is American idiocy.”
However, the prospect of Daniels producing and Carell starring in a series alongside John Malkovich and Lisa Kudrow was too much for Netflix to pass up. Especially when 75% of the audience agreed with Rotten Tomatoes user Carl F., “How is this not the most popular comedy on TV right now?”
As for a release date for the second season, the series didn’t land in 2021, perhaps to avoid competing with “The Witcher.” Good news for fans though, as the show’s Twitter page announced today your favorite characters will return February 18, 2022
