Steve Carell became one of the most prominent comedic actors in the world back in the mid to late 2000s thanks to his work on the hit NBC comedy series The Office. It’s a show that has been enjoyed by millions of people and well after its finale, people are still clamoring for new seasons or at least some type of reunion.

Fortunately, Carell will be coming through with the next best thing. He has teamed up with Greg Daniels – who worked on The Office – for a brand new comedy series on Netflix called “Space Force.” The series centers around Carell’s character who has been put in charge of running the United States’ new military branch. All sorts of hilarious antics ensue throughout Carell’s journey and the show promises to recapture some of the magic of The Office. You can see what’s in store in the new trailer below.

“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,” Carell told Deadline. “It was really based on nothing, except this name that made everybody laugh.

It is being reported that this show will make its debut on Friday, May 29th.

Lil Dicky has a few hit songs in his catalog, or maybe viral videos would be a better way to describe them. “Earth”, “Freaky Friday” and “$ave Dat Money” have all amassed many millions of views on YouTube, but that may be due to creative music video concepts and big name features like Chris Brown and Fetty Wap. On “Professional Rapper”, his collaboration with Snoop Dogg, Dicky consults the OG on how to be taken seriously in the rap game when he lacks all the standard credentials. Dicky starts off the track by introducing himself as Dave, who also appears to be the protagonist in Dicky’s new FX comedy series. 

The synopsis of DAVE reads as follows: “A neurotic mid 20’s suburbanite’s convinced he’s destined to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Now he’s to prove it to everyone else.” Based on this description, one could gather that the series is loosely (or strongly) based on Lil Dicky’s career. In the newly-released trailer, Young Thug, Gunna, Trippie Redd and YG all make appearances. Dave will likely cross paths with all of these rappers in his attempts to accrue clout and climb the ladder to stardom. 

The series, which Kevin Hart has a hand in producing, will premiere on FXX and Hulu on March 4.  

After the massive success of its first season, the Jim Carrey-lead Showtime comedy series, Kidding, returns on February 9th with a star-studded second season. Fresh off his recent Grammy win for Best Rap Album, Tyler, the Creator is headed to the small screen to show off his acting chops in season two of Kidding. Tyler will reportedly play a character named Cornell who works at a “nostalgia therapy center.” In the first trailer for the second season, Tyler can briefly be seen pouring coffee, and in the second, his voice can be heard saying, “Reality is the disease, fantasy is the pill.”

While Tyler has worked extensively in television, his experience is mostly limited to voice work, such as on the Adult Swim animated series, The Jellies!, which he co-created along with Lionel Boyce, as well as on Axe Cop and Lucas Bros Moving Co. Coincidentally, Tyler already plays a character named Cornell on The Jellies!, so there is a definite possibility that his Kidding role will have a connection to this show. Alongside Tyler on the stacked list of celebrity cameos are stars like Ariana Grande, Blake Griffin, Dick Van Dyke, Mae Whitman, and Eric Roberts.

Kidding follows Jeff, a children’s television icon played by Jim Carrey, who struggles to hold onto his sanity as his family begins to fall apart. The first season of the series earned Carrey a 2020 Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor – Television Series Musical or Comedy. Alongside Carrey, Kidding also stars Frank Langella, Catherine Keener, and Judy Dench. The second season premieres on Showtime on Sunday, February 9th, at 10pm ET/PT with back-to-back episodes.
