=== ''Lost in Space: The Epilogue'' ===
In 1978, Bill Mumy, Brian Grier, & [[Paul Gordon (composer)|Paul Gordon]] wrote a [[spec script]] for a made for television reunion movie called Lost in Space: The Epilogue. Mumy sent it to the entire cast & CBS who both expressed interest. The project was halted when Irwin Allen refused to even read Mumy's sreenplay, not wanting to hand Lost in Space to anyone else.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzcpcyyyPfQ |title=Bill Mumy discusses trying to launch a "Lost in Space" reunion movie - EMMYTVLEGENDS.ORG |date=January 31, 2014 |last=FoundationINTERVIEWS |access-date=September 23, 2024 |via=YouTube}}</ref> The project was eventually filmed as a cast table reading for the 50th anniversary blu ray set.

=== ''Lost in Space: The Journey Home'' ===
In the early 2000s, [[Kevin Burns]] attempted to produce a tv reunion film called Lost in Space: The Journey Home. Focusing on a new group of characters who become lost in space themselves and find The Robinsons cryogenically frozen. It was hoped that the film would be a pilot for a revival focused on the new characters. [[Jonathan Harris|Jonathan Harris']] death, (which occurred four months before shooting was to begin) halted the project. Though the studio did suggest recasting the role with [[Christopher Lloyd]] or [[John Lithgow]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Britt |first=Ryan |date=December 26, 2019 |title=Lost in Space: Why the Third Time's the Charm |url=https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/lost-in-space-why-the-third-times-the-charm/ |access-date=September 23, 2024 |website=Den of Geek |language=en-US}}</ref>

===''Lost in Space'' (1998 film)===
{{main|Lost in Space (film)}}
In 1998, New Line Cinema produced a [[Lost in Space (film)|film adaptation]]. The 1998 film includes a number of homages to the original television series. These include cameos and story details from the original TV-series, including:

Additional cameo appearances of actors from the original series were considered, but not included in the film:
* Jonathan Harris was offered a cameo appearance, not as Smith (performed by actor Gary Oldman in the film), but as the Global Sedition leader who hires, then betrays, Smith. Harris turned down the role, reportedly saying, "I play Smith or I don't play" and "I've never played a bit part in my life and I'm not going to start now!" The role of the Sedition leader was eventually performed by actor Edward Fox. Many years later, Harris appeared on ''[[Late Night with Conan O'Brien]]'', mentioning the role offered to him: "Yes, they offered me a part in the new movie; six lines!"
* Bill Mumy was likewise offered a cameo, but turned it down after being told he would not be considered for the part he wanted — the role of the older Will Robinson — because, he was told, that would "confuse the audience."

The film used a number of ideas familiar to viewers from the original show: Smith reprogramming the robot and its subsequent rampage ("Reluctant Stowaway"), near miss with the Sun ("Wild Adventure"), the derelict spaceship ("The Derelict"), discovery of the Blawp and the crash ("Island in the Sky") and an attempt to change history by returning to the beginning ("The Time Merchant"). Also a scene-stealing 'Goodnight' homage to the Waltons was included. Something fans of the original always wanted to see happen was finally realized when Don knocks out an annoyingly complaining Smith at the end of the film, saying, "That felt good!"

===''The Robinsons: Lost in Space'' (2004)===
In 2004, a television series titled "The Robinsons: Lost in Space" was developed in the U.S. A pilot for the series was filmed; however, the series was ultimately never produced. The series originally was intended to emulate the ''Lost in Space'' unaired pilot. The 2004 show did feature the unnamed robot, and an additional older Robinson child named David. Penny, who had been depicted as a preteen in the original series was depicted as an infant in the 2004 remake. The pilot was titled "The Robinsons: Lost in Space" and was commissioned by [[The WB]]. The pilot was directed by [[John Woo]] and produced by Synthesis Entertainment, Irwin Allen Productions, Twentieth Century Fox Television and [[Regency Television]].

The ''Jupiter 2'' [[interstellar travel|interstellar]] flying-saucer spacecraft of the original series was depicted as a [[lander (spacecraft)|planet-landing]] craft, deployed from a larger inter-stellar [[mothership]].

The plot of the series followed John Robinson, a retiring war hero of an alien invasion who had decided to take his family to another colony elsewhere in space. The Robinson's ship is attacked and the Robinsons are forced to escape in the small ''Jupiter 2'' "Space Pod" of the mothership.

The show was not among the network's series pickups confirmed later that year. Looking back at the pilot when the [[Lost in Space (2018 TV series)|2018 Netflix reboot]] was aired, Neil Calloway of Flickering Myth said, "you're hardly on the edge of your seat." He continued, "You start to wonder where the $2 million went, and then you question why something directed by John Woo is so pedestrian."<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2018/04/lost-space-show-disappeared/|title=The Lost In Space Show That Disappeared|date=April 15, 2018|work=Flickering Myth|access-date=April 27, 2018}}</ref>

The producers of the [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|new ''Battlestar Galactica'']] show bought the show's sets. They were redesigned the next year and used for scenes on the Battlestar ''Pegasus''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://collider.com/john-woo-unaired-lost-in-space-pilot/|title=See John Woo's Unaired Pilot for a LOST IN SPACE TV Series Reboot|website=[[Collider (website)|Collider]]|last=Anderton|first=Ethan|date=February 16, 2011|access-date=April 13, 2018}}</ref>

Dick Tufeld reprised his role as voice of the robot for the third time.
