Netflix this week plans to add eight new ‘original’ TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup, including a much-anticipated sci-fi drama.
The list of new titles includes season one of Lost In Space (pictured above), a Netflix original sci-fi drama based on the campy 1960s show.
The new show, which stars Molly Parker (House of Cards, Deadwood) and Toby Stephens (13 Hours), has generated a score of 92 out of a possible 100 at RottenTomatoes.com, which tracks critical reviews. Twelve of 13 critics surveyed by the site said they like the show.
“Lost in Space‘s production values are ambitious enough to attract sci-fi adventure fans, while the story’s large heart adds an emotional anchor to all the deep space derring-do,” writes RottenTomatoes.com, summarizing the reviews.
Another notable addition this week: Season two of The Magic School Bus Rides Again, a Netflix original reboot of the animated children’s series, starring Saturday Night Live’s Kate McKinnon in the voice role as Miss Frizzle.
