Discovered that Lost In Space is coming back as a remake TV series and to be released by Netflix in 2018.
Here are the principal cast members-
Toby Stephens as John Robinson
Molly Parker as Maureen Robinson. Coincidentally I am now seeing Parker in her regular role in US House of Cards season 3.
Ignacio Serricchio as Don West,.
Taylor Russell as Judy Robinson.
Maxwell Jenkins as Will Robinson.
Mina Sundwall as Penny Robinson.
Parker Posey as Dr. Smith. Parker Posey plays the female version of the character made famous in the original series by the late Jonathan Harris.
I can only imagine that original Will Robinson, Bill Mumy felt envious of current Will Robinson Maxwell of spending a lot of time with the female Dr Smith Parker Posey because when Mumy was Will he had spent a lot of time with Jonathan Harris the male Dr Smith.
Also cast in a recurring role is Raza Jaffrey as Victor.
The Lost In Space remake series is created by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless.

The Sydney Sunday Telegraph tv guide of April 1-7 2018 has a piece on Parker Posey on playing the female Dr Smith in the new Lost In Space.
The article writer Holly Byrnes stated that Lost In Space fans have almost immediately embraced the gender change of Dr Smith and that unlike “the controversy which surrounded the gender switch made by producers of Doctor Who, Posey had a long pedigree for making the weird seem wonderful.”

The third season of the Netflix Lost In Space to be released next year 2021 will also be its last.
Its 1960s predecessor had also ended with its own third season.
However unlike its 1960s predecessor, the Netflix series will have its storylines wrapped up due to the knowledge of the final season something that the 1960s series did not have the benefit of.
