Taylor Russell To Play Judy Robinson In Netflix’s ‘Lost In Space’ Remake.
And if I remember correctly, Neil Marshall's set to direct the season premiere. Per IMDB, casting's by John Papsidera.The original series followed the spacefaring Robinson family – Doctors John and Maureen, their daughters Judy and Penny, and their son, Will – and pilot Don West, who board the spacecraft Jupiter 2 on a mission to colonize a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri. Unfortunately, they’re joined by Doctor Zachary Smith, an enemy spy who sabotaged their ship and ended up stranded in deep space with them. While it’s not yet known how closely the Netflix series will hold to that concept, it’s been described as a story in which the Robinsons, light years from their intended destination, must come together to survive as they encounter strange alien environments and their own personal demons.
The 10-episode series from Legendary was ordered officially in June and will appear on Netflix in 2018. It was created by writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Dracula Untold, Last Witch Hunter), and Zack Estrin (Prison Break) has been tapped to serve as showrunner.
