Netflix just dropped the first full trailer for Lost in Space.
Similar to the original '60s sci-fi series, the show will follow the Robinson family as they find themselves, well, lost in space and encounter dangerous adventures.
"This is a true family adventure in the vein of the original Jurassic Park," said showrunner Zack Estrin to EW. “I don’t think there’s ever been another show like this on TV that has this size and scope, but also this emotion. There aren’t a lot of family shows that everybody can watch for themselves. There are very few things that are not reality shows that adults and kids can enjoy together. I’ve shown this to my father, who’s 70, and my daughters, who are 11 and 14, and they all fell in love with it for different reasons.”
The original series lasted for three seasons from 1965 to 1968. Since then, it's been the subject of two Kevin Burns documentaries, The Fantasy Worlds of Irwin Allen and Lost in Space Forever. But most famously, it was remade into a 1998 film starring William Hurt, Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham, Matt LeBlanc, and more. There was also a planned TV series, The Robinsons: Lost in Space, to air in 2004 that never materialized.
"Fans of the original show should know we maintain the core of what was special about that experience of watching that as a child—that here’s this incredible family that’s off on this amazing adventure," continued Estrin in the EW interview. "For new fans of the show, there’s a certain baggage associated with the title—'Oh, that’s that campy show from the ’60s,' or, 'That’s that movie from the ’90s that was...what it was.' We are taking that core of an idea—the Robinson family is striving to hold together and survive in this incredible circumstance—and as much as this show is Lost in Space, it could be a shipwreck on an island. It just happens to be in space and we think it’s going to have a broad appeal beyond genre fans."
Last month, Netflix dropped the teaser trailer, but fans are getting to see even more of what the series will look like in the latest trailer, that can be found above. Netflix's Lost in Space is scheduled to release all 10 episodes on April 13.
