CoverStory By George Dickie Knowing they can't stay forever on their methane-filled ocean planet, the Robinsons quite literally set sail for new horizons as "Lost in Space" returns for Sea- son 2 this week. Premiering Tuesday, Dec. 24, on Netflix, the new season finds John (Toby Stephens) and Maureen Robinson (Molly Parker), their offspring Judy (Taylor Russell), Penny (Mina Sundwall) and Will (Maxwell Jen- kins), along with Dr. Smith (Parker Posey) and Don West (Ignacio Serric- chio) realizing their toxic outpost is no place to make a life, so they out- fit the Jupiter with sails to embark on a mission to find a location, from where they can hopefully launch themselves back into space to rendezvous with the mother ship Res- olute. The visual of the sau- cer-like ship going off into the distance sails filled, calls to mind Stephens' previous series, the Starz pirate adventure "Black Sails," an irony not lost on the actor. "Yeah, I think the writ- ers were doing a sort of a — yeah, a reference to that mainly," the British actor says with a laugh. Juxtaposed to the dra- ma in space is the drama within the family unit. The kids are all maturing, with Will searching for Robot, who disappeared at the end of Season 1; Judy doing more work with John, and Penny trying to figure out where she fits in, as most teens do. It's the typical family tension: parents dealing with kids turning into their own people and asserting their independence — ex- cept here it's happening in space. The Robinsons cope with trouble in Season 2 of 'Lost in Space' The identity of the featured celebrity is found within the answers in the puzzle.
