Netflix Renews “Lost in Space” for a Second Season

More Danger. More Will Robinson.

Between “Tremors,” “Ash vs. Evil Dead” and “The Exorcist,” we’ve been getting a lot of bad news on the horror TV front lately, but this week is kicking off with some good.

Netflix has announced that they’ve ordered a second season of their “Lost in Space” reboot, in the wake of 6.3 million people streaming Season 1 in its first weekend.

Season 1 premiered on April 13.

In this new version of “Lost in Space”…

“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.”

The original version of “Lost in Space,” created by Irwin Allen, aired from September 1965 – March 1968. The series was later adapted into a feature film, in 1998.
