Lost in Space, which aired on CBS for three seasons, was set 30 years in the future (1997) and followed a family's journey to another planet in attempts to colonize deep space. But when a secret agent sabotages the mission, the ship veers off course and gets lost in outer space.
Burns previously attempted to adapt Lost in Space into a movie for NBC, but when the series' original star, Jonathan Harris, died, the project didn't move forward. Warner Bros. also worked on a reboot but the pilot never went to series. The 1998 movie adaptation debuted at No. 1 at the box office and went on to gross $136 million worldwide.
Lost in Space joins the list of recently announced reboots and adaptations including Twin Peaks, Say Anything (which was quickly axed) and Uncle Buck.
