Shows that feel likeLost in Space (2018–2021)
If you loved Lost in Space, the closest series we have are Stargate Universe (2009), Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) and Ahsoka (2023). All three share Lost in Space's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Dark Matter (2015).
If Lost in Space hit the spot, these will too

Stranded far from Earth on a ship nobody fully understands
The difference: Darker crew infighting — no family warmth to anchor it

Early explorers improvising with tech that barely works yet
The difference: Episodic missions and diplomacy over serialized peril

The same mix in both: ideas, then dream logic
The difference: Easier on the stillness than Lost in Space

A makeshift family scraping by on the rough frontier of space
The difference: One roguish season — outlaws, not parents, and then it's gone

Survival math in deep space, where every decision costs something
The difference: Punishingly adult — a despair the Robinsons never touch


Sci-fi that takes its world and its human costs completely seriously
The difference: Political and adult — no kids, no wonder, no friendly robot

Kinetic where it counts, epic underneath

The same preoccupation in both: space
The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

An expedition cut off from Earth, waking dangers it can't handle
The difference: Quippy and episodic, with the stakes reset each week

Contemplative and awestruck in the same breath

Common ground in both: spacecraft and space colony
The difference: Leans harder into mystery than Lost in Space does
