Parker Posey is Dr. Smith in Netflix’s Lost In Space show

Parker Posey has joined the cast of Lost In Space as Dr. Smith – usually the villain of the piece. This is for Netflix’s remake Irwin Allen’s 1965 TV show. Jonathan Harris played the character in the original series and Gary Oldman played him in the 1998 film.

The new Lost In Space is similar to the original as it follows the Robinson family who are stranded light years from their intended destination. They find themselves battling a strange new alien environment and their own personal demons.

Posey joins Molly Parker (House of Cards) as Maureen Robinson; Toby Stephens (Black Sails) as her husband, astrophysicist/expedition commander John Robinson; Maxwell Jenkins (Sense8) as her son, Will Robinson; and Taylor Russell (Falling Skies) as her daughter, Judy Robinson.
