Watch: Final trailer for Lost in Space Season 2
David Farnor | On 05, Dec 2019
“We’re the first humans to try and turn a spaceship into a sailboat,” declares Will at the start of the final trailer for Lost in Space Season 2 – and that optimistic sense of adventure bodes well for fans of Netflix’s sci-fi reboot.
“Netflix’s ambitious, enormously fun sci-fi offers that rare thing on TV: a genuine family blockbuster,” we wrote in our review of the first season.
The show is set 30 years in the future, when colonisation 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, lightyears from their original destination.
Returning for Season 2 are Toby Stephens (Black Sails) as John Robinson and Molly Parker (House of Cards) as Maureen Robinson, plus Taylor Russell (Falling Skies) as eldest daughter Judy, Mina Sundwall (Maggie’s Plan) as middle-child Penny, and Max Jenkins (Sense8) as youngest family member Will, who formed an inexplicable bond with a sentient robotic alien in Season 1 – and the enigmatic Dr. Smith, played by Parker Posey.
Season 2 picks up with the robot missing and the family searching for him – and while the charming sense of intrepid exploration is present and correct in the new trailer, there’s also a growing darkness that promises higher stakes to go with the increasingly epic visuals.
The show returns to Netflix on 24th December. Here’s the video:
Trailer: Lost in Space Season 2 set for Christmas release
7th October 2019
“I know he’s out there somewhere,” declares Will Robinson in the new trailer for Lost in Space Season 2.
Netflix’s reboot of the 60s classic sci-fi is set 30 years in the future, when colonisation 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, lightyears from their original destination.
The series stars Toby Stephens (Black Sails) as John Robinson and Molly Parker (House of Cards) as Maureen Robinson, the family’s parental leaders who are struggling with their estranged relationship in the midst of trying to keep their family safe. As the Robinson kids, Taylor Russell (Falling Skies) is the strong-willed and confident Judy, Mina Sundwall (Maggie’s Plan) is the quick-witted and definitive middle-child Penny, and Max Jenkins (Sense8) is the curious and sensitive Will Robinson, the youngest and most vulnerable of the clan, who forms an inexplicable bond with a sentient robotic alien.
Along for the ride is Dr. Smith played by Parker Posey, and Angela (Sibongile Mlambo), who has been promoted to a series regular for the new season. She, like Will and Dr. Smith, has history with Will’s robot, which will become a driver of events for the show’s sophomore run.
Now, after a lot of waiting, Netflix has confirmed that Season 2 will premiere on 24th December 2019, an ideal present for the family to unwrap this Christmas.
Here’s the trailer:
Sibongile Mlambo upped to series regular for Lost in Space
27th June 2018
Sibongile Mlambo has been upped to a series regular for the second season of Lost in Space.
The streaming giant’s reboot of the 60s classic sci-fi is set 30 years in the future, when colonisation 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, lightyears from their original destination.
The series stars Toby Stephens (Black Sails) as John Robinson, and Molly Parker (House of Cards) as Maureen Robinson, the family’s parental leaders who are struggling with their estranged relationship in the midst of trying to keep their family safe. As the Robinson kids, Taylor Russell (Falling Skies) is the strong-willed and confident Judy, Mina Sundwall (Maggie’s Plan) is the quick-witted and definitive middle-child Penny, and Max Jenkins (Sense8) is the curious and sensitive Will Robinson, the youngest and most vulnerable of the clan, who forms an inexplicable bond with a sentient robotic alien.
Along for the ride is Dr. Smith played by Parker Posey, and the manipulative stowaway wasted no time in Season 1 getting her hooks into Angela (Mlambo), bringing her to fire a gun at the robot and temporarily put him out of action. We can expect to see even more of her in Season 2, with her promoted from a recurring character (appearing in five episodes) to a regular for the show’s sophomore outing.
Mlambo, who is also a regular on siren and recurs on Teen Wolf, will be recognised by fans of Black Sails, after appearing in all athree seasons, and will soon be seen in the lead in Honey 3. Not seen her in Lost in Space? Catch up with our reviews of Season 1 here.
Lost in Space renewed for Season 2
14th May 2018
Netflix has renewed Lost in Space for a second season.
The streaming giant’s reboot of the 60s classic sci-fi is set 30 years in the future, when colonisation 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, lightyears from their original destination.
The series stars Toby Stephens (Black Sails) as John Robinson, and Molly Parker (House of Cards) as Maureen Robinson, the family’s parental leaders who are struggling with their estranged relationship in the midst of trying to keep their family safe. As the Robinson kids, Taylor Russell (Falling Skies) is the strong-willed and confident Judy, Mina Sundwall (Maggie’s Plan) is the quick-witted and definitive middle-child Penny, and Max Jenkins (Sense8) is the curious and sensitive Will Robinson, the youngest and most vulnerable of the clan, who forms an inexplicable bond with a sentient robotic alien.
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 played by Parker Posey (Café Society), is a master manipulator with an inscrutable end game. And the roguish Don West, played by Ignacio Serricchio (Bones), is a highly-skilled, blue collar contractor, who had no intention of joining the colony, let alone crash landing on a lost planet.
The series is produced by Legendary Television and written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Dracula Untold), with Zack Estrin (Prison Break) serving as showrunner.
“Netflix’s ambitious, enormously fun sci-fi offers that rare thing on TV: a genuine family blockbuster,” we wrote in our review of the first season, which premiered on Friday 13th April. Now, almost exactly a month after that debut, Netflix has confirmed that it has ordered more episodes.
