House of Cards’ Molly Parker Is Lost In Space

A few days ago we mentioned that Toby Stephens (Black Sails) would be captaining the ship of Netflix’s Lost In Space reboot. Now they have announced that House of Cards actress Molly Parker will be joining him as his wife Maureen Robinson.

For those of you unfamiliar with the story, the show sees a family set of from Earth with the intention of colonising a distant planet. But disaster strikes, stranding them light years from their intended destination, and the Robinsons find themselves battling a strange new alien environment and their own personal demons.

Maureen Robinson is the matriarch of the Robinson family, and a brilliant aerospace engineer who makes the decision to bring her family to space for a chance at a new life. She is joined by her husband John (Stephens), an astrophysicist and expedition commander, and their children Will (Maxwell Jenkins – Sense8), and Judy (Taylor Russell – Falling Skies).

Canadian actress Molly Parker is probably best known most recently for portraying House Majority Whip Jackie Sharp in House Of Cards, but you may also know her from Dexter where she played Lisa Marshall, or Deadwood where she played Alma Garret. She can next be seen in David E. Kelley’s new Amazon show Goliath with William Hurt & Billy Bob Thornton.

The original Lost In Space, from which this new version takes it’s cues, aired on CBS from 1965 to 1968. The Netflix reboot is being written by Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless (Dracula Untold, Power Rangers 2017), who will also exec produce along with Zack Estrin (No Ordinary Family, Prison Break, Charmed), who will serves as showrunner.

Lost In Space is due to arrive on Netflix in 2018.
