Netflix has officially renewed Lost in Space for season two.
The news was revealed on Twitter, but we haven't yet got a release date for the second run of episodes – although we imagine we're looking at around the end of 2019.
What to Read Next
Even before the renewal, we knew that the writers were already working on scripts for season two and they teased that it could feature more of the original cast members from the 1960s series.
"I think the original cast is an asset. And we don't know exactly how or why they'll fit into the show, but we'd love to include them in the way we included Bill Mumy," executive producer Matt Sazama explained.
"We're not afraid of the history of the show. We embrace it and we want everyone – including old fans – to be fans of our show too."
Mumy played Will Robinson in the original series and was in the Netflix reboot as Dr Zachary Smith, so any plans to bring back some of that cast could see them all play different characters.
The fact that the sci-fi reboot has got a second season isn't too much of a surprise since reported US viewing figures showed that Lost in Space drew 6.3 million US viewers within its first three days of release.
Viewers on average apparently watched the show for 2.5 hours and the series was heavily binged, as almost 1.2 million people watched the series' final episode during this period too.
Lost in Space is available on Netflix now.
