Netflix Plans New “Land of the Lost” Series

Netflix and Legendary Television are reportedly at work on a new update of Sid and Marty Krofft’s 1970s NBC sci-fi adventure serial “Land of the Lost”.

The Krofft’s and Marty’s daughter Deanna Krofft Pope will produce the project which is in its earliest stages with a writer search currently underway.

The story follows a father, Rick, and his two children who accidentally go through a portal and find themselves trapped in a world inhabited by dinosaurs.

Amongst those living in this world are a T-Rex they nickname Grumpy, reptilian humanoids called Sleestaks, and the primate-like Pakuni people with the family befriending one named Cha-Ka.

The original series ran for three seasons in the 1970s and blended stop-motion animation with live-action. It became a minor cult success, leading to a 1991 series remake.

In 2009, Will Ferrell and Danny McBride led a big-screen reimagining of the property. Netflix has a history with rebooting classic series titles, most notably with “Lost in Space”, which ran for three seasons on the streamer.
