Netflix has picked up a 10-episode first season of a “Lost in Space” reboot, which it began developing in November.
Taking its cues from the original series that aired on CBS in the 1960s, the show centers around the Robinson family, who is forced to come together in a time of crisis. Stranded light years from their intended destination, they find themselves battling a strange new alien environment along with their own personal demons.
“The original series so deftly captured both drama and comedy, and that made it very appealing to a broad audience,” Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Content, said in a statement.
