* DarkerAndEdgier: In the original series, the Jupiter colonization expedition to Alpha Centauri was the result of exploration for exploration’s sake, in the spirit of [[UsefulNotes/TheSpaceRace the Space Race]], which was in full swing at the time. In this version (much like in [[Film/LostInspace the 1998 film]]) the colonization efforts are the results of environmental catastrophe that will render the Earth uninhabitable

Set 30 years in the future and with space colonization now a reality the series recounts the adventures and misadventures of the Robinson family, one of those tested and selected to leave Earth in search of a planet capable of sustaining human life and make a new life for themselves in a better world in the Alpha Centauri system.

However, when the new colonists find themselves abruptly thrown off course en route to their new home they must forge new alliances and work together to survive in a dangerous alien environment. Stranded alongside the Robinsons are two outsiders: the charismatic Dr. Smith and the roguish Don West.
