The trailer also teases some deeper philosophical debates, with John Malkovich’s character arguing that “space should be a zone of wonder, not conflict and death.” And Naird telling an audience, “as a scientist you have loyalty to reason. Makes you a little untrustworthy.”
We won’t have to wait long for the first episode, which drops May 29th. The trailer gives us a glimpse of the star-packed cast, including Lisa Kudrow, Jane Lynch, Tawny Newsome, Ben Schwartz, Diana Silvers, Fred Willard and Jimmy O. Yang.
Meanwhile, the actual US Space Force, which Trump directed the Pentagon to form after joking about the idea, has launched its first satellite. It has also asked for funding and unveiled a logo with a clear Star Trek influence. Time will tell, but the best thing to come out of the US Space Force may be the Netflix Space Force spoof.
