The Netflix original series Lost in Space is expected to launch Season 3 by the end of 2021, according to official announcements. Here's the most up-to-date news on this beloved sci-fi adventure.
Since debuting on Netflix, Lost in Space has captivated subscribers worldwide. With Season 2's episodes now several years old—released on December 24, 2019—fans are eagerly awaiting Season 3 of Lost in Space.
Did you know? Netflix's Lost in Space reimagines the classic 1965 TV series of the same name, which itself draws from the 1812 novel The Swiss Family Robinson. Premiering on April 13, 2018, it quickly climbed into Netflix's top 10 most-watched series. Here's what we know about Season 3.
Lost in Space has earned strong critical acclaim, including two Primetime Emmy Award nominations for primetime TV excellence. Fans of epic sci-fi with a Star Wars-like space opera vibe love its high-stakes action. Since Season 2 wrapped, speculation about Season 3's release has run high. Currently, two seasons with 10 episodes each (40-65 minutes long) are available on Netflix.
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted Netflix's production schedules. However, on March 9, 2020, Netflix confirmed Season 3 is officially coming. Production kicked off in September 2020, with set photos shared by cast and crew on social media.
