Final Space is an American adult animated space opera comedy-drama television series created by Olan Rogers for TBS.
The series involves a prisoner named Gary Goodspeed and his alien
friend, Mooncake, and focuses on their intergalactic adventures as they
try to solve the mystery of the titular "Final Space".
The series premiered on TBS on February 26, 2018[2] and was renewed for a second season on May 7, 2018. Season 2 premiered on June 24, 2019 on Adult Swim, with TBS airing an encore the following week.[3] The show was renewed for a third season a week after the second finished airing.[4] It was announced that season 3 is set to be released in early 2021.
Gary Goodspeed is a boisterous yet inept astronaut who, in the midst of
working off the last few days of his five-year sentence aboard the
prison spacecraft Galaxy One, encounters a mysterious
planet-destroying alien. He befriends the alien, naming him Mooncake,
and then discovers that Mooncake is wanted by the forces of a powerful
telekinetic creature known as the Lord Commander. Gary and Mooncake
embark on a quest to save the universe, together with the ship's
computer HUE, an army of similar but unfalteringly loyal robots, and a
growing crew of new shipmates—all while trying to uncover the mystery of
what "Final Space" really is.

Production
Development
The
idea for the show originated in mid-2010. Olan Rogers uploaded the
first episode of a planned ten-part animated web-series titled Gary Space to his personal YouTube channel.[11]
The project went on hiatus three episodes in, and Rogers eventually
explained on Facebook that both he and the series' artist, Dan Brown,
were tending to separate projects at the time, but were in talks of
continuing.[12] On April 30, 2013, Rogers confirmed that he was rebooting and producing a season of Gary Space episodes to release at once.[13] Over two years later, Rogers revealed that a new short for the reboot for Gary Space was planned to be pitched to Cartoon Network, in addition to premiering the episode at Buffer Festival if nothing came from the pitch.[14]
In early 2016, Rogers announced that his project had been retitled Final Space – he cited it due to avoid similarities with Steven Universe[15] – and revealed screenshots of the short via a vlog on his YouTube channel.[16] The pilot for Final Space was posted on Rogers' YouTube channel[17] with voices by himself and a friend of his, Coty Galloway; Galloway had collaborated with Rogers in a Star Wars fan film called The Scarlet Lance.[18] The video caught the attention of Conan O'Brien, who invited him to Los Angeles to pitch Final Space to TBS as a full series and also joined production as an executive producer alongside Rogers and 3rd Rock from the Sun writer and producer David Sacks. Other members of O'Brien's company, Conaco
(David Kissinger, Larry Sullivan and Jeff Ross), and members of New
Form who executive produced the pilot short (Kathleen Grace, Melissa
Schneider and Matt Hoklotubbe) joined as executive producers as well. To
balance out Rogers' inexperience in the industry, Conaco brought in
Sacks to also serve as the showrunner for the series.[19][20] After two weeks of working with Sacks and Jake Sidwell (co-composer of the series alongside Shelby Merry)[21] on the pitch, Rogers and Sacks pitched the show to TBS; as well as Comedy Central, Fox, FX, YouTube, and Fullscreen;
all six companies wanted the series and resulted in a bidding war
between the studios over the series, with TBS acquiring the series.
