Lost in Space adaptations: films & series
Every version of Lost in Space — the films & series, compared across media.
The Robinsons are sent on a mission to colonise a new world, only to find their voyage repeatedly undermined and their family stranded far from their destination. The same essential drama — a family forced to rely on one another at the edge of the galaxy — has driven three separate screen versions, from a 1960s television series through a feature film and a modern streaming retelling, each finding its own angle on the premise.
