Netflix is rebooting the classic TV series “Lost In Space” and they are going full-steam ahead, sparring no expense to make the relaunch something truly memorable.
The 10-episode series is slated to arrive in April and Netflix just released a full length trailer along with poster art, to get fans excited.
Fans of the old series, which was created by Irwin Allen and aired from September 1965 to March 1968, will see a lot of similarities in terms of characters and plot line.
“The Robinson family, part of a highly trained mission to establish a new colony in space, is unexpectedly pulled off course forcing them to crash land on a lost planet.”
“Set 30 years in the future, colonization 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.
Stranded along with the Robinsons are two outsiders who find themselves thrown together by circumstance and a mutual knack for deception. The unsettlingly charismatic Dr. Smith (Parker Posey) is a master manipulator with an inscrutable end game. And the roguish, but inadvertently charming Don West (Ignacio Serricchio) is a highly-skilled, blue collar contractor, who had no intention of joining the colony, let alone crash landing on a lost planet.”
