Steve Carell has revealed that when Netflix approached him to create Space Force, there was no idea other than the show’s title.
The actor then decided to take the rough TV show idea to his fellow The Office creator Greg Daniels to see what they could make from it.
Speaking about how the show was created, Steve explained: ‘Space Force came around in a rather atypical way. Netflix had this premise that they thought might make a funny show — the idea made everybody laugh in a meeting, an idea of a show about the origins of a fictitious Space Force. ‘I heard about the idea through my agent, and Netflix pitched the show to me, and then I pitched the show to Greg, and we all had the same reaction to it.
