Steve Carell Looks to the Stars for Laughs in Netflix's Space Force

The Office has long been one of the most popular shows on Netflix, so it makes sense that they'd want to work with Greg Daniels on a new show, especially one that reunites the Office co-creator with Steve Carell. Time will tell whether Space Force has what it takes to fill the void at Netflix later this year when The Office jumps to NBC's Peacock streaming service, but with a stellar cast that includes Carell, John Malkovich and Lisa Kudrow, it's a safe bet many will be sampling the new series. Also tonight: America attempts to cut its own hair… together, RuPaul's Drag Race airs its virtual finale, and Defending Jacob rests its case. Here's what's new and noteworthy on TV this Friday:
