‘Land Of The Lost' Series Reboot In Works At Netflix From Legendary Television
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is looking to remake another classic TV series. The streamer has closed a deal with Legendary Television for Land of the Lost, a reboot of Sid and Marty Krofft's 1974 sci-fi adventure show, Deadline has learned. Sid and Marty Krofft as well as Marty's daughter Deanna Krofft Pope, who is COO at their company, will produce the project, which is in very early stages, sources said. Search is underway for a writer. Reps for Netflix and Legendary TV declined comment. More from Deadline Spencer Milligan Dies: 'Land Of The Lost' Star Was 86 2025 Premiere Dates For New & Returning Series On Broadcast, Cable & Streaming Netflix Strikes "New Kind Of Partnership" To Carry TF1 Stations In France Land of the Lost centers on a father, Rick, and his two children who accidentally go through a portal and find themselves trapped in a world inhabited by dinosaurs, including a Tyrannosaurus rex they nickname Grumpy; primate-like people named Pakuni, one of whom, Cha-Ka, they befriend; and reptilian humanoids called Sleestak. Land of the Lost originated as a children's series which aired on NBC Saturday mornings for three seasons from 1974 to 1976, with CBS giving it a summer run in 1985 and 1987. In it, Rick was played by Spencer Milligan, with Wesley Eure and Kathy Coleman as his kids, Will and Holly, respectively. Stop-motion animation was used for some of the creatures. Despite its relatively short run, Land of the Lost achieved cult status, keeping the title relevant. That led to a 1991 series remake, which aired for two seasons on ABC, and a 2009 feature film starring Will Ferrell. Sid and Marty Krofft produced both. While it does not have the extensive library traditional TV studios do, Netflix has taken on a few classic series titles. The streamer is currently filming a new Little House On the Prairie and previously rebooted Lost In Space and One Day At a Time. Legendary Television's current slate includes Dune: Prophecy at HBO, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters at Apple TV+ and the animated Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft at Netflix as well as Tomb Raider and Pacific Rim live-action series and an adaptation of Girls and Their Horses with Nicole Kidman — all in development at Amazon.

Netflix is turning back the clock with a return to the Land of the Lost . Deadline reports that the streamer is in the very early stages of development on a reboot of the 1970s series, with Legendary Television and Sid and Marty Krofft Productions, which worked on the original, helming the new project. Not much else is known, but a search for a writer is underway. Debuting in 1974, the show follows Rick Marshall (Spencer Milligan) and his kids Will (Wesley Eure) and Holly (Kathy Coleman), who accidentally go through a portal and find themselves in a mysterious land inhabited by dinosaurs and prehistoric species, including a T-Rex nicknamed Grumpy, reptilian humanoids called Sleestak, and primate-like people named Pakuni, one of whom became their friend, Cha-Ka. Some of the creatures were notably brought to life using stop-motion animation, and despite its short three-season run, Land of the Lost achieved cult classic status. The upcoming reboot marks a third revival, following a two-season remake in 1991 and a 2009 film featuring Will Ferrell. Sid and Marty Krofft Productions also produced both projects. It isn't Netflix's first attempt at reimagining classic adventures. The streamer has previously rebooted Lost in Space and One Day at a Time , and is currently filming a new Little House on the Prairie .
