Lost in Space is an American science fiction television series remake of the 1965 series of the same title, following the adventures of a family of pioneering space colonists whose ship goes off course. Zack Estrin will serve as showrunner.
The series is set in the year 2046. The spaceship Jupiter 2 hits a rip in spacetime and crashes on a planet. Stranded light years from their intended destination, the Robinsons and company find themselves battling a strange new alien environment and their own personal demons.
On October 10, 2014, it was announced that Legendary Television was developing a new reboot of Lost in Space and had hired Dracula Untold screenwriting duo Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless to pen the new series. On June 29, 2016, Netflix ordered the series with 10 episodes.
Toby Stephens had this to say about the new show: "It’s a very clever, modern reworking of a great story. Lost In Space is Swiss Family Robinson in space, so it was a story that existed before Lost In Space. The fundamental story is that it’s a family that is lost in a difficult, life-threatening situation and how it challenges them and brings them closer together. "That is essentially what the story of this is, it’s just the context is a lot more modern. It’s a more modern take on the ‘60s version. If you look at it now, it’s charming, but it seems so innocent. Whereas this is a version that is for our time. I’m hoping it will still have humour and humanity in it, but it has obviously gotta be for a modern audience."
