While Trump’s Space Force hasn’t gotten off the ground yet, Netflix released a tease trailer for the new comedy.

This will mark Carell's first return to series television since leaving "The Office" after seven seasons in 2011.

It's described as a workplace series focused on the people responsible for creating the new Space Force, THR reported.

Carell, also an executive producer on the project, is expected to earn $1 million an episode or more.
