Netflix’s “Lost in Space” Will Return in 2021 for the Show’s Third and Final Season
The good news for fans of Netflix‘s “Lost in Space” is that the series will be getting a third season, but the bad news is that the show’s third season will serve as its *final* season.
“Lost in Space” premiered in 2018 and the final season will arrive in 2021.
On the plus side, it seems the plan was always for the show to stop at three seasons.
“From the beginning, we’ve always viewed this particular story of The Robinsons as a trilogy,” showrunner Zack Estrin said in a statement today. “A three part epic family adventure with a clear beginning, middle and end. It’s also worth noting that, with what these characters go through just trying to survive each episode — if anyone deserves to catch their breath before their next mission — it’s Will, Penny, Judy, Maureen, John, Don West, Dr. Smith… and The Robot. And, of course, Debbie the Chicken.”
“Lost in Space” stars Toby Stephens, Molly Parker, Maxwell Jenkins, Mina Sundwall, Taylor Russell, Ignacio Serricchio and Parker Posey.

Wyatt Russell‘s Colonel Lee Shaw is getting his own “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” spinoff series, and Pilou Asbæk (Salem’s Lot, I.S.S.) and Millie Brady (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) have joined the cast.
What’s more is that Sweetheart filmmaker J.D. Dillard has been set to direct the pilot episode.
“Obi-Wan Kenobi” showrunner and “Monarch” executive producer Joby Harold will serve as showrunner on the as-yet-untitled spinoff.
The series will follow Colonel Lee Shaw, an American operative who in 1984 went on a secret mission behind enemy lines in an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a horrific new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. and turn the tide of the Cold War.
Details beyond that remain scarce, including what characters Asbaek and Brady will place. The Cold War setting suggests a very different direction and tone from the spinoff’s parent series, though.
The series will reunite Pilous Asbæk with his Overlord co-star, Wyatt Russell.
Expect the Legendary’s MonsterVerse to continue to grow; Harold has also signed an overall deal with Legendary to oversee the Monsterverse franchise for Apple TV, featuring both new and fan-favorite Titans.
Producers on the upcoming spinoff include Kei Banno, Brian Rogers, and Kenji Okuhira. Russell and Harold will executive produce alongside Tory Tunnell, Chris Black, Kyle Bradstreet, Alex Boden, Max Borenstein, Andy Goddard, Hiro Matsuoka, and Takemasa Arita.
