Everytime I've found myself writing about Netflix's upcoming Lost in Space series, I can't help but to put the original theme song on repeat (which was composed by John Williams) while I type away. The last time we encountered the Robinson clan, they were attempting to make it out of 90s' movie hell in the big-screen adaptation of the original series, so the upcoming reboot doesn't have to do much in order to improve on that. Netflix has released a new featurette for the series which provides an inside look into the family, the lost planet, and the adventures they'll embark on together.
The official synopsis for Lost in Space:
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, 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.
Lost in Space will debut on Netflix on April 13, 2018.
