Other Space is an American science fiction comedy television series. It debuted on Yahoo! Screen on April 14, 2015. It follows a young and inexperienced crew as they venture into an unknown universe to face mysterious clouds, food and fuel shortages, robot rebellions, folds in time, and the occasional alien attack. The show has been described as "Red Dwarf USA, take two".
Episodes are available to stream via Yahoo! TV in the U.S., following the shuttering of Yahoo! Screen in 2016. It is expected that the show will become available in further territories in the following months.
The first season has received positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, it has a score of 66 out of 100 based on 6 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". On Rotten Tomatoes, the show currently holds an 91% approval rating from critics with an average rating of 6.3 out of 10.
In April 2015, creator Paul Feig stated that the future of the show is "up in the air" and that a second season has yet to be ordered by the network. Feig confirmed that he was still waiting for a decision from Yahoo! in September 2015.
On October 21, 2015, Yahoo CFO Ken Goldman announced during a Q3 Earnings Phone Call that their original programming lineup last spring resulted in a $42 million writeoff, including Community Season 6 and Sin City Saints.
On January 6, 2016, Feig suggested there may be more episodes of Other Space despite Yahoo! Screen cancelling their service in 2016 due to low viewership and financial writeoffs. Season 1 of Other Space remains available for viewing in the TV section of Yahoo's website.
On February 21, 2016, Paul Feig posted on his Twitter account: "Desist in losing hope. It will be back if I have to shoot it on my iPhone. But it won't come to that. Hang tough." after the future of the series was called into question when Yahoo! Screen was shut down in late 2015.
