Let’s find out whether or not Netflix will renew the series for a third season.
Release date of Space Force Season 3: When is it?
Currently, there’s no word on it yet regarding the third season of Space Force. It looks like people are more interested in what’s coming next rather than the much further possible third season.
Earlier Netflix revealed that the second season will consist of seven episodes in a press release.
“Season two of Space Force picks up with General Naird and his underdog team having to prove their worth to a new administration while dealing with interpersonal challenges. Will the group come together or fall apart under the pressure…? The Space Force is only human after all.”
So if the second season does perform well, we’re certain that the streaming will renew the series for a third installment. This means that viewers won’t get to see it until early 2023.
Season 2 of Space Force might be the last season of the series
As previously mentioned, the series received many criticisms and obtained poor ratings so the second season probably is the ultimate chance to do everything right for the series to continue on Netflix.
It was also reported that production shifted from Los Angeles to Vancouver to lessen costs. Additionally, there’s also a new member named Norm Hiscock who joined the team and will serve as a co-showrunner
The Cast of Space Force Season 3: Who’ll be in it?

- Steve Carell will portray General Mark R. Naird
