Carrell, who played Michael Scott in "The Office," co-created the upcoming series with Greg Daniels, who developed "The Office" for American television.

Trump officially directed the Pentagon last June to “immediately begin the process necessary to establish a Space Force as the sixth branch of the armed forces." The Department of Defense weeks later released a report detailing how it will establish a Space Force.

In the wake of the announcement, Trump's campaign urged supporters to select a logo for the military branch, and chants of "space force" regularly broke out at the president's campaign rallies.

Trump late last year directed the Pentagon to create a Space Command, a unified combatant command meant to lay the groundwork for his proposal to create a dedicated Space Force.
