Prepare to be taken on an adventure in the new remake and Netflix original Lost In Space, after almost 50 years since the classic sci-fi series signed off the air.
Lost in Space is a Netflix Original dramatic and modern reimagining of the classic 1960’s science fiction series. Set 30 years in the future, colonisation in space is now a reality, and the Robinson family is among those tested and selected to make a new life for themselves in a better world. But when the new colonists find themselves abruptly torn off course en route to their new home they must forge new alliances and work together to survive in a dangerous alien environment, light-years from their original destination.
The series stars Toby Stephens (Black Sails) as John Robinson, and Molly Parker (House of Cards) as Maureen Robinson, the family’s parental leaders who are struggling with their estranged relationship in the midst of trying to keep their family safe. As the Robinson kids, Taylor Russell (Falling Skies) is the strong-willed and confident Judy, Mina Sundwall (Maggie’s Plan) is the quick-witted and definitive middle-child Penny, and Max Jenkins (Sense8) is the curious and sensitive Will Robinson, the youngest and most vulnerable of the clan, who forms an unlikely and inexplicable bond with a sentient robotic alien being.
Stranded along with the Robinsons are two outsiders who find themselves thrown together by circumstance and a mutual knack for deception. The unsettling charismatic Dr. Smith played by Parker Posey (Café Society), is a master manipulator with an inscrutable end game. And the roguish, but inadvertently charming Don West, played by Ignacio Serricchio (Bones), is a highly skilled, blue-collar contractor, who had no intention of joining the colony, let alone crash landing on a lost planet.
The series is produced by Legendary Television and written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Dracula Untold). Zack Estrin (Prison Break) serves as showrunner. The three are executive producers alongside Synthesis Entertainment’s Kevin Burns and Jon Jashni with Applebox’s Neil Marshall and Marc Helwig. The original Lost in Space series was created by Irwin Allen.
Starring Toby Stephens (Black Sails), Molly Parker (House of Cards), Taylor Russell (Falling Skies), Mina Sundwall (Maggie’s Plan), Max Jenkins (Sense8), Parker Posey (Café Society), and Ignacio Serricchio (Bones).
