Space Force is one of Netflix’s biggest comedy project until now with Steve Carrell once again returned for the second season. Will there be a season 3 of the show? What can we expect from the new season and how well season 2 is done? Let’s look.
This article was first published on February 21 and has been updated over time to reflect new information.
Netflix gives one season space 2 minutes a few months after it’s first. The first season was released again in May 2020 but the update did not come until November 2020. Season 2 was released at Netflix globally on February 18, 2022.
Has Netflix Renewed Space Force for season 3?
Official Netflix Renewal Status: Not Yet Renewed
Our Renewal Prediction: Likely cancelation (last updated: March 1st)
At the end of February 2022, there had been no decision about the future of the space force in Netflix but season 3 was planned if the final season 2 was something to pass.
We usually hear updates about one or two months after the new season shows the premiere.
The reason why we suspect the show can be at risk of cancellation is because of how it was extended for the second season and specifically how to get budget cuts and changes in filmmaking locations.
As you know, season 2 moved production to Vancouver from Los Angeles to save costs and see the shock in the author’s room. It also saw the number of episodes reduced from 10 to 7.
Lower budgets can show that season 1 does not meet expectations but rather than allowing the series running, it provides another opportunity. Unless the show can do numbers (more about this for a while) it is not possible we will see the third entry.
One bright spot for the future series is that the consensus review for the second season seems a little better even though it gets less reviews at the time of publishing.
How well is Space Force season 2 performing on Netflix?
As we declare above, what the third season update will go down is viewers and based on available data, it is very unlikely we will now see the show back.
Through various methods, we can get instructions on how well the performance of the series but the reality is we will not have a complete picture until around mid-March.
Season 1 was watched by 40 million customers in his first month but unfortunately, we would not get a comparable number for this season.
Top 10 hours per hour pointing to the show cannot collect the support that will be needed for the second season.
This event is qualified to be included in the top 10 graphs between February 14 and February 20 (added to Netflix with the remaining two days) but failed for more than 11.04 million hours which was seen as the position number 10 week.
Thanks to the top 10 data provided by FlixPatrol, we know that this series does not start from the best start throughout the world. In the United States, the series entered TV Top 10 at number 5 for the first and second day of this service. It was beaten by people like creating Anna, love was blind, sweet magnolia, and a cuphead!.
The show left the top Netflix UT overall on February 25 and Top February 10 on March 1. This event appears only in several other regions too.
Below, you can see which country see the show lasted the most in the top 10. Naturally popular in areas such as the United States and Canada but also perform well in Australia, several Eastern European countries, and Nordic areas.
What to expect from Space Force Season 3
At the end of season 2, we found most characters in the same position as they entered the second season.
Most of the characters have chosen to survive in space after now receiving their salary increases and the future of the military branch are secured.
Of course, season 2 ends in Cliffhanger in a large asteroid form sliding towards the earth (yes, the right plot for Netflix does not look up). The crew all found an asteroid thanks to the Hawaiian telescope that will be online.
Once the astronauts, scientists and generals all find an upcoming asteroid and make peace with their disaster they will live in the song (singing Kokomo by Boys Boys) which is a setback to season 1.
