Will Lost in Space Season 2 Happen?
Lost in Space has been a big hit for Netflix. Well, we think, the streamer still doesn’t make viewership data available.
But the amount of money spent on season one, combined with a generally favorable fan response is good news for the remake of the corny 1960s sci-fi adventure. Has season one been successful enough to get to Lost in Space Season 2? We shall see.
Not only is Netflix hesitant to provide any viewership data, they’re also hesitant to cancel any of their original shows – particularly after one year. Lost in Space Season 1’s promising, cliffhanger conclusion indicates that the producers are confident there will be a Lost in Space Season 2. So let’s break down everything we currently know about a potential second season.
Lost in Space Season 2 Release Date
Netflix has yet to announce Lost in Space Season 2. Season one debuted on April 13, 2018, however. Another April release date for season two would make sense unless Netflix decides to expand the scope of the show or number of episodes. The release date may ultimately depend on how viewers respond to season one and whether Netflix thinks it can go even bigger.
Lost in Space Season 2 Cast
Lost in Space Season 2’s cast could either be much bigger or much smaller. Notably, Lost in Space Season 1 ends with a huge paring down of the cast so that only the eight main characters from the original series remain: John, Maureen, Judy, Penny, Will, Smith, Don, and the Robot. Characters like Victor, Vijay, the Watanabes, and more are back home on aboard the Resolute and on their way to Alpha Centauri.
With the absence of those supporting characters though, the show has a unique opportunity to make its cast even bigger. The Robinsons, Smith, and West are now on the outskirts of an alien world. Will this mean more CGI/make-up characters? One can only hope so.
