The big picture: Netflix renewed its sci-fi television show Lost in Space for a third season this week, extending the reimagining of the original series until 2021. The news is bittersweet, however, as the third season will serve as the series finale.

The admission isn’t a total surprise for those that have followed the reboot closely. Executive producer / showrunner Zack Estrin said that since the beginning, they’ve viewed this story as a trilogy with a clear beginning, middle and end.

"If anyone deserves to catch their breath before their next mission -- it’s Will, Penny, Judy, Maureen, John, Don West, Dr. Smith... and The Robot," Estrin added.

The first season of the Netflix original dropped on April 13, 2018, and was followed by season two on December 24, 2019. A modern adaptation of the 1965 series by the same name, it follows the Robinson family on a mission to colonize the Alpha Centauri star system.

Estrin’s time with Netflix is far from over as the two sides have agreed to a multi-year deal in which he will “produce new series exclusively at Netflix.”

While it’s sad to see a show you love reach its series finale, it’s not always a bad thing. Far too many shows these days run well past their expiration date as part of clear cash grabs. Plus, knowing in advance that a show is coming to an end gives producers an opportunity to close out storylines. With sudden cancellations, you’re left to wonder the fate of your favorite characters.

I was hoping the second season would smarten up, but it didn't. The story line is a good fit for kids and the brain-dead, not for adults who can think.

Sometimes you don't need to think and some amazing thought provoking plot that will revolutionise the way you think. Not everyone can be arsed to be smart 24/7/365

Anyway, Locke and Key was decent but second season of Lost in Space, nope, couldn't watch from 2nd ep onwards...
 
They coulda went 5-6 seasons, both seasons were great.
Anyone complaining about the 2nd season not being as smart of crafty needs to adjust their ability to criticize and also accept that once something is no longer new, that creative unknown isn't as appealing, doesn't mean its not as good. This is common theme with critics who review shows.

Both seasons were great and honestly they could have easily made 4-5. I'll accept the 3rd though, as long as 'The Witcher' gets atleast 4 seasons.
