The streamer is set to reboot another classic NBC series that premiered in fall 1974. Netflix has closed a deal with Legendary Television for a reboot of Sid and Marty Krofft’s 1974-1976 NBC sci-fi children's adventure show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0lQhHHSXbg), according to Deadline. The news comes as Netflix is filming a reboot of Little House on the Prairie (https://deadline.com/2025/06/little-house-on-the-prairie-ingalls-family-photo-netflix-1236429829/), which premiered on NBC four days after Land of the Lost in September 1974. As Deadline's Nellie Andreeva notes, "Land of the Lost centers on a father, Rick, and his two children who accidentally go through a portal and find themselves trapped in a world inhabited by dinosaurs, including a Tyrannosaurus rex they nickname Grumpy; primate-like people named Pakuni, one of whom, Cha-Ka, they befriend; and reptilian humanoids called Sleestak. Land of the Lost originated as a children’s series which aired on NBC Saturday mornings for three seasons from 1974 to 1976, with CBS giving it a summer run in 1985 and 1987. Despite its relatively short run, Land of the Lost achieved cult status, keeping the title relevant. That led to a 1991 series remake (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e4TauXyk_E), which aired for two seasons on ABC, and a 2009 feature film starring Will Ferrell (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsWnF560Dzo). Sid and Marty Krofft produced both."
