Danger. Will Robinson. Danger. — The Robot.
1960s series Lost in Space is getting a big remake at Netflix with a 10-episode order expected to film in Vancouver this Winter. The cult classic aired on American networks at the same time as the then less-popular Star Trek — which went on to spawn multiple series and movies, including the upcoming Star Trek: Beyond. Why didn’t Lost in Space do the same? It aired for three seasons on CBS and while there were numerous attempts to reboot it as a series there’s only been one film with William Hurt.
Lost in Space was a 1965 drama/part comedy about the American Robinson family set in 1997 (now the past) who were sent on a 5 1/2 year journey into deep space to colonize a planet but their spaceship was sabotaged by enemy agent Dr. Zachary Smith, sending them off course and lost in space.
