Netflix’s “Hot Frosty” has become a bit of a sensation since it debuted on the streamer in early November, topping the Netflix charts, going viral and even getting a Ryan Reynolds parody, thanks to its bonkers Christmas charm — and the charms of its leading actress, Lacey Chabert.

Best known for playing the iconic and “so fetch” Gretchen Wieners in “Mean Girls,” Chabert’s previous credits also include “Party of Five,” “Lost in Space,” voice roles in “The Wild Thornberrys” and “Young Justice,” and earning the title “Queen of Hallmark” for the 30+ Hallmark movies she’s made over the years.

What’s more, Chabert has become a holiday staple, so if you’re looking for more Lacey Chabert Christmas movies to watch after “Hot Frosty,” there are plenty to choose from. Some might say a daunting amount if you’re a Hallmark newbie — not to worry, we’ve gone through...

For more than 55 years, the space-exploring Robinson family has been a part of pop culture, from the original Lost in Space series (1965–1968) to Netflix’s current run. But while the core family has remained the same, what sent them to space changes each time.

What has remained the same outside of the core family? A troublesome Dr. Smith (or Dr. Smith-like figure) who messes things up, a devoted robot and a future-set timeline.

As for what is different? Well, only one version of the story features space spiders.

Here’s how the two shows, as well as the 1998 film, stack up against each other.

The Original Series:

The Premise:

In 1997, the United States is on the cusp of colonizing space and wants to send a family as their test run. Enter the Robinsons, who agree to a five-year trek to an Earth-like planet. But a foreign nation wanting...

The upcoming Timothée Chalamet cannibal feature Bones and All has been picked up by MGM, who also dropped a first-look image from the film. The young actor rose to prominence in 2017, when he appeared in two films that were eventually nominated for Best Picture: Lady Bird and Call Me By Your Name. His Best Picture hot streak has only gotten hotter with his roles in 2019's Little Women and 2021's Don't Look Up and Dune. He is also set to play a young Willy Wonka in an upcoming prequel to the Roald Dahl classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The film Bones and All will be the first time the actor has reteamed with director Luca Guadagnino, who helmed Call Me By Your Name. The cannibal film is adapted from the 2015 Camille DeAngelis novel of the same name. This will see Chalamet and Guadagnino returning to subject matter they have previously covered separately.

The film written by Charles Shyer (Father of the Bride) and Todd Calgi Gallicano (Sam London Adventure book series) centers on Jackie (Norwood), who every Christmas, without fail, sends a boastful holiday newsletter that makes her old college friend Charlotte (Graham) feel like a lump of coal. When a twist of fate lands Charlotte, her husband Rob (Biggs), and their family on Jackie’s and her husband Valentino’s (Cedeño) snowy doorstep just days before Christmas, Charlotte seizes the opportunity to prove her old friend’s “perfect” life can’t possibly be that perfect. But in her overzealous attempt to expose Jackie, Charlotte nearly ruins Christmas for both families and must team...

Netflix has released a teaser trailer for their long-awaited ‘Lost in Space‘ reboot. Although the trailer essential serves as an announcement for the premiere date of the new series mores than anything else, Netflix has been kind enough to provide a batch of new images that give us our first good look at the new reboot of a corny 60’s TV show that has been rebranded into what is now a “dramatic and modern reimagining” of the series. For those that are unaware, New Line attempted to reboot the franchise in 1998 with a movie of the same name, but it turned out to be a surge on the careers of the people involved and completely killed the franchise before it could even begin.

Netflix has taken the advantage of building on its science fiction library by delving into the archives for a new original series. They have now released the first look of the reimagining of the classic 1960’s series Lost in Space with a date announcement video and stills from the show.

While this is the first look at Netflix’s new science fiction series here on Earth, “Lost in Space” has already been made available for viewing in space. Netflix provided Nasa with access to the pilot episode, which was transmitted 12 days ago to the International Space Station for astronauts to view during their leisure time.

In the video, we meet the Robinson Family as they reflect on “Human History” on Earth and look ahead to the future of space travel.

Netflix has released the first teaser for its “Lost in Space” reboot, the classic science fiction series which popularized this line: “Danger, Will Robinson.” With Parker Posey as the gender-swapped villain Dr. Smith, Will Robinson is in for some seriously fabulous danger this go around the sun. The newly released trailer is vague on plot but long on style, with “House of Cards” star Molly Parker in the role of matriarch Maureen Robinson. Parker’s tranquil voiceover lends the trailer gravitas, as she leads her intrepid brood into the great unknown of an epic-looking spaceship.

“Human kind evolves. It’s how we survive,” she says. “Earth is our home. But only so long as it keeps us safe. When this world can no longer serve that purpose: Another planet, another colony, another chance. The rest of human history begins now.”

Today Netflix has released the trailer for the reboot of Lost In Space, and I've got to say I cant wait to watch this series. So let's stop wasting time and check out the date announcement trailer below.

Was I the only one running around screaming after this, maybe ... I dunno? All I know is I am all aboard the hype train for this series. I was a fan of the 1960's series in which Dr. John Robinson (Guy Williams), his wife Dr. Maureen Robinson (June Lockhart) and their children Judy (Marta Kristen), Penny (Angela Cartwright) and Will (Bill Mumy) leave Earth to investigate a planet suitable for human life. Joining the Robinsons on their joureny are Major Don West (Mark Goddard), pilot of the Jupiter 2 Spaceship.

"But when the new colonists find themselves abruptly torn off course en route to their new home they must forge new alliances and work together to survive in a dangerous alien environment.

Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming reboot of the classic 1965 sci-fi series Lost in Space. I wasn't sure what to expect from this series, but it actually looks like it could be good! I know it's just an announcement teaser, but the production value seems solid. 

The story will follow the Robinson family, who are a part of "a highly trained mission to establish a new colony in space, is unexpectedly pulled off course forcing them to crash land on a lost planet." 

In the teaser, we see the Robinson family walking onto their ship, the Jupiter 2. The cast includes Toby Stephens as John Robinson, Molly Parker as Maureen Robinson, Ignacio Serricchio as Don West, Taylor Russell as Judy Robinson, Mina Sundwall as Penny Robinson, Maxwell Jenkins as Will Robinson, and Parker Posey as Dr. Smith.

The new series is written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless...

“Danger, Will Robinson!” Lost in Space is a classic television series in that it’s iconic. Everyone can quote it. Everyone is familiar with its iconography. But it was never a great show – it was merely a show that a lot of people grew up watching. Now, a promising reboot of the series could change that. The […]

There is a new Will Robinson in town. Actually, he’s getting out of town in the first look at Netflix’s “Lost in Space” reboot. “Earth is our home, but only so long as it keeps us safe,” Will’s mother (Molly Parker) says, as she narrates the clip showing the planet in turmoil and her family making their way onto a spacecraft. “When this world can no longer serve that purpose, another planet, another colony, another chance, the rest of human history begins — now.” Oh, they also throw a “Danger Will Robinson!” — coming from a new, creepy-sounding robot — in...

With the fate of Earth a grave question mark, the Robinson family prepares to head to the stars in the announcement trailer for the new Lost in Space series, premiering on April 13th on Netflix.

Featuring several episodes directed by Neil Marshall (The Descent, Game of Thrones, Doomsday), the new Lost in Space series will consist of 10 episodes. With their first appearance captured in comic book form in the 1960s, the adventures of the Robinson family continued in a TV series that aired from 1965–1968, followed by a feature film in 1998.

For more details on the reimagining, we have the previous press release and new teaser trailer below:

Netflix has unveiled the first Lost in Space reboot trailer and images, giving us a peek at the highly anticipated new sci-fi series. Indeed, while the streaming service first gained prominence in the TV realm by reviving cancelled shows like Arrested Development or The Killing, Netflix has now moved firmly into creating content of its own.

“Lost In Space” is a franchise that Hollywood never quite figured out. The campy ’60s television series was eventually turned into a 1998 action adventure movie that is perhaps most notable for being the movie where Gary Oldman turned into a spider. Now, two decades later, Netflix has their hands on the property and have turned into something a bit more serious and compelling. Oh lord, I’m going to watch this, aren’t I?...

Netflix has slotted April 13 for the launch of its Lost In Space remake. We’re also getting a first look at the new iteration of sci-fi master Irwin Allen's 1965 cult TV classic, from Legendary TV.

Netflix provided Nasa with access to the pilot episode, which was transmitted 12 days ago to the International Space Station for astronauts to view. According to Netflix…...

The Robinson family is in danger again in the teaser trailer for Netflix’s upcoming reboot of Lost in Space.

If there were any doubt that the streaming service’s update would adopt a vastly different tone from the campiness associated with the 1960 original, this first look will lay them to rest. It’s an alternately uplifting and somber overview of humanity’s evolution, building to the Jupiter 2 mission to establish a new colony in space.

Netflix rolls out yet another trailer for an original series with the first look at Lost in Space, featuring Molly Parker and Toby Stephens as the head of the space-faring Robinson clan. The series has been in the works for some time now, with the casting of Parker and Stephens having been announced in September of last year. Meanwhile the addition of Parker Posey to cast, as the nefarious Dr. Smith, hinted that the minds behind the new series were at least partially in the right place.

The move comes a few days after Entertainment One (eOne) named Mark Gordon its president and chief content officer for film, television and digital and agreed to buy the half of The Mark Gordon Company it did not already own.

eOne also appointed Steve Bertram as president of film, television and digital and said that John Morayniss, previously co-president with Bertram of the global independent’s film and TV operations, would be stepping down.

Before inheriting the title "Master of Disaster", a perfectly justified honour for his reputation of creating some of the greatest disaster movies of the 1970s, Irwin Allen was also the man responsible for some of the classic TV shows to emerge in the 1960’s. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, The Time Tunnel, and Land of the Giants have all survived the test of time and become immortalised among the best in terms of cultural importance. However, above all others, Lost in Space (1965-1968) is arguably the series that endured. Very loosely inspired by Johan David Wyss's classic 1812 adventure novel “Swiss Family Robinson”, the premise for the show was fairly uncomplicated and followed the adventures of the Robinson family, a crew of space colonists who encounter a number of strange and otherworldly situations after their ship is sabotaged and thrown off its original course. A great...

Chicago – Gary Oldman has been generating memorable film portrayals since he broke through in the 1980s. From Sid Vicious (“Sid and Nancy”) to Lee Harvey Oswald (“JFK”) to Jim Gordon (Dark Knight Series), Oldman is a consummate actor. That is expressed in his latest role, as Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour.”

The title refers to one of the most challenging moments of Churchill’s career. Newly minted as Britain’s prime minister in 1940, he faces the onslaught of Adolf Hitler’s attack on his homeland, including the surrounding of the British troops at Dunkirk. Gary Oldman embodies the pugnacious bulldog that characterized Churchill at the height of his power, including the soaring rhetoric that strengthened the morale of the British people.

Our latest round-up of horror and genre DVDs and Blu-rays...

So: with season two of Stranger Things fast approaching, a remake of Stephen King’s It set to mildly trouble a whole new generation and, erm, the on-going threat of nuclear armageddon, it seems everything eighties is 'in' at the moment. And, you know what? That surely must include Dennis Quaid, right? Well, maybe not, unless you count this year’s canine reincarnation/multiple hound-homicide horror A Dog’s Purpose, which we don’t in these parts. Anyway, Quaid’s back in Blu-ray form with the recent repackaging of his 1984 quirky fantasy thriller Dreamscape.

Nicely sandwiched between the release of Jaws 3-D and Enemy Mine, surely two of the most Quaidessential (sorry) films of the decade, Dreamscape sees our hero take on the mantle of a cheaper Harrison Ford, burdened with psychic powers that he must use...

I wasn't really sure what to expect when meeting Elisabeth Moss for the first time in Cannes. We were about to spend the next three days together doing interviews, events, and dinners. Of course, I'd known of her since she starred as First Daughter Zoey Bartlet on The West Wing in the late '90s and early 2000s and wowed us all in Girl, Interrupted, holding her own with Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. And I had just binge-watched The Handmaid's Tale and started Top of the Lake. Neither of her characters on those two TV shows were people I thought I would want to hang with, but luckily for me, Irl Lizzie is much more carefree, relaxed, and hilarious. In fact, she was a pleasure from the first minute we met. Literally - within one minute of meeting, she and my awesome, fun husband, Brian, bonded over baseball stats,...

Science Fiction is a term that means a lot of different things to a lot of different fans. When I was kid I thought it kind of meant Star Trek and Lost in Space, Bradbury books and the Twilight Zone episodes that included aliens. Of course, it’s so much bigger than that. There are subgenres and all kinds of slivers of fandoms that are populated with bazillions of fans. And Star Wars, of course, has just about transcended the entire genre and become its own thing.

So it’s was all the more interesting that a local art exhibit chose to focus on the earliest incarnation of science fiction. It’s called “Fun in Space: An Homage to Pulp Science Fiction.”

Pulp Science Fiction is cheesy and brilliant all at the same time. Pulps often sported lurid and garish covers aimed at adolescent males. On the other hand,...

The technology of seemingly distant futures in science fiction films and novels is now seeping into the real world of the present day, and at the upcoming Alien Expo in Dallas, sci-fi fans can gather to celebrate the facts and the fiction of the beloved genre.

The line between myth and reality is attenuating. What previous generations deemed unlikely or even impossible is sitting on the brink of mainstream exposure: missions to Mars, virtual reality gaming, evidence of alien lifeforms. When Paul Reiser and Sigourney Weaver filmed the scene in Aliens featuring a video phone call, they surely couldn’t have predicted the appeareance of internet programs like Skype or FaceTime.

The casting slots for Netflix's Lost in Space series continue to fill up, as another actress has joined the reimagining's ranks to play a member of the Robinson family.

Sundwall joins a cast that includes Toby Stephens and Molly Parker as the Robinson parents, Parker Posey as the villainous Dr. Smith, and Ignacio Serricchio as Don West.

Sundwall has steadily put together an impressive list of film credits, appearing in Freeheld, Maggie's Plan, and Tara Subkoff's #Horror, in which she played the key role of Francesca (see below).

Season one of the new Lost in Space series will consist of ten episodes and is slated to premiere in 2018 on Netflix.

Light spoilers for Lord Of The Rings, Star Trek Beyond and Life Of Pi lie ahead

Lord Of The Rings was a transient and some may say biblical experience for the younger me. Peter Jackson’s magnum opus was a trilogy to call my own; in a world full of Star Wars, Back To The Future and Star Trek I had finally gone to the cinema year after year to experience my own cultural mega event. Howard Shore’s score was my score. Legolas taking down the Oliphant was My Luke ensnaring the At-at with his snowspeeder cable. If they were ever to return to Middle Earth an screw it up years down the line, it would be my childhood getting defiled.

Deadline reports that Posey (Scream 3, Blade: Trinity, Louie, Clockwatchers, Best in Show) will play Dr. Smith, a character who was the initial antagonist and (eventual) source of occasional comic relief portrayed by Jonathan Harris in the original series, which aired from 1965–1968 on CBS. Fans of the show will remember Dr. Smith as someone who set out to sabotage the Robinson family on their space voyage aboard the Jupiter 2 (originally referred to as the Gemini 12).
