The pain! The space family Robinson is back, but won’t have a Dr. Zachary Smith character stowing away this time around, according to Variety.
Five-year “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” vet Doug Petrie (“As You Were”), last seen writing Fox’s seemingly doomed Eliza Dushku midseason drama “Tru Calling,” is behind a proposed series revival of “Lost in Space” for the WB. Director John Woo (“Windtalkers”) is also producing the project.
The netlet has committed only to a pilot production at this point. We’ll likely have to wait till May to see if the project, set in 2097, goes forward as a series.
