Lost in Space hasn't stood the test of time quite as well as the original Star Trek series, but the 1965 TV series has its fans and some nostalgia factor. Netflix has been all over the nostalgia reboots lately, so Lost in Space is next in line.

Netflix just released a new trailer for the series, which prominently features the TV show's iconic robot—and yes, it does say "Danger Will Robinson!" Netflix says this series is a family affair, though that doesn't mean it's necessarily the sort of thing you'd see on the Disney Channel—the showrunner Zack Estrin compared it to Jurassic Park. The trailer makes it clear that this is neither the campy Lost in Space of the '60s, nor comparable to the happy-go-lucky 1998 film starring Gary Oldman and Friends' Matt LeBlanc.

Series star Toby Stephens had this to say about it when speaking with Den of Geek:

It’s a very clever, modern reworking of a great story. Lost In Space is Swiss Family Robinson in space, so it was a story that existed before Lost In Space. The fundamental story is that it’s a family that is lost in a difficult, life-threatening situation and how it challenges them and brings them closer together. That is essentially what the story of this is, it’s just the context is a lot more modern. It’s a more modern take on the ‘60s version. If you look at it now, it’s charming, but it seems so innocent. Whereas this is a version that is for our time. I’m hoping it will still have humour and humanity in it, but it has obviously gotta be for a modern audience.

It's difficult to predict the quality of a new show like this; Netflix has produced some real classics—but some real clunkers, too. Maybe the best way to assess Lost in Space is to look at the talent involved. There, it's arguably a mixed bag.

Several episodes of the series are set to be directed by British director Neil Marshall, who is known not only for the classic horror film The Descent but also for directing two of Game of Thrones' best episodes, "Blackwater" and "Watchers on the Wall."

On the other hand, the series will be co-written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, writers of the films Dracula Untold, The Last Witch Hunter, and Gods of Egypt. While I enjoyed The Last Witch Hunter—mainly because I'm an unapologetic and longtime Vin Diesel fan, a newly converted Rose Leslie fan, and an appreciator of occult-themed camp going back to Buffy and beyond—that lineup of three films is probably not very inspiring to most viewers. None was well-received critically.

The cast is appealing, though. The most surprising choice is You've Got Mail and Superman Returns' Parker Posey as Dr. Smith, a character who was played well by Gary Oldman in the 1998 movie and iconically by Jonathan Harris in the original TV series. We've also got Toby Stephens as the dad and Molly Parker as the mom.

Lost in Space is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on April 13, 2018.
