lmao I would absolutely watch a satire like this.

Does anyone know if any series ever satired itself? Especially with the same actors?

Ian Fleming crated the characters in "The Man From UNCLE" Napoleon Solo and April Dancer. The UNCLE shows were pretty tongue-in-cheek.

There are a lot of things close to that in scifi. The Starship Troopers movie is a satire of the book it's based on, and the Orville is a satire of Star Trek with a lot of Trek actors taking part.

The pinnacle of self-parody though is, of course, Star Trek: Lower Decks
