Netflix Plans Remake of Cult TV Series ‘Lost in Space’

Deadline: Legendary TV’s “Lost In Space,” a remake of sci-fi master Irwin Allen’s 1965 cult TV classic, is headed to Netflix. The new “Lost in Space” is described as an epic but grounded science fiction saga focusing on a young explorer family from earth lost in an alien universe and the challenges they face in staying together against seemingly insurmountable odds. The original series aired on CBS for three seasons and ended its run after 83 episodes over a combination of softening ratings and rising costs.
