Netflix's Lost in Space remake has locked in its first cast member, tapping Falling Skies actress Taylor Russell to play daughter Judy, TVLine has learned exclusively.
The role of John and Maureen's eldest child was originated by Marta Kristen in the '60s series, and later played by Heather Graham in the 1998 feature film.
Russell's other notable credit is Lifetime's Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story, in which she played Lark Voorhies.
The 10-episode, Legendary TV-produced family drama/sci-fi adventure, which was formally ordered in June and is set to premiere in 2018, will take its cues from the original series and follow the Robinson family as they are forced to come together in a time of crisis. Stranded light years from their intended destination, they find themselves battling a strange new alien environment and their own personal demons.
The project hails from writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Dracula Untold, Last Witch Hunter), with Zack Estrin (Prison Break) set as showrunner.
"The original series so deftly captured both drama and comedy, and that made it very appealing to a broad audience," said Cindy Holland, Netflix's VP of original content, back in June. "The current creative team's reimagining of the series for Netflix is sure to appeal to both fans who fondly remember the original and to create a new generation of enthusiasts around the world."
