'Lost in Space' Season 2: Release date, plot, cast, trailer and everything you need to know about the sci-fi Netflix show
In May 2018, Netflix confirmed that the family science fiction show 'Lost in Space' will be returning for a second season. 'Lost in Space' is an American science fiction series based on a reimagining of the 1965 series of the same name, which itself was a reimagining of the 1812 novel 'The Swiss Family Robinson'. The series follows the adventures of a family of space colonists whose spaceship veers off course and crashes onto an alien planet quite similar to Earth.
Release date
The second season of 'Lost in Space' doesn't have a fixed date as of yet. However, given the complicated production that goes into the series, it is not likely that new episodes will be out before the end of 2019 or early 2020.
Plot
The official synopsis for the first season on Netflix reads "After crash-landing on an alien planet, the Robinson family fights against all odds to survive and escape. But they're surrounded by hidden dangers." Following a family of space colonists selected for an interstellar mission, the show focusses on Maureen and John Robinson and their three children, Will (the youngest), Penny and Judy. The family is sent on a space mission, but having veered off course and into a wormhole, after an alien robot breaches the ship, they are forced to evacuate.
