welcome back to great day Washington it
is the holiday season and let's be real
we're all looking forward to a little
streaming service binge time this
holiday season so today on Netflix lost
in space season two is finally out and I
got to sit down with two of the stars
take a look
a lost in space series returns with new
threats and discoveries as they look to
find a safe passage through space they
will stop at nothing to keep their
family safe survival though is a
Robinson Robinson specialty after all
joining us now are some of the stars of
the series ignacio Surrey CHEO and also
Maxwell Jenkins gentlemen thank you for
being here you're taking a look at
yourself there the angles you do do you
want to go to high school he's trying to
dress like Maxwell you know just with
the fly little dragon kind of feel well
done with my last name oh thank you
thank you I was working on that one
you guys season two congratulations on
paper bag thank you
the Robinsons stick together though
you're kind of an outsider in the family
yes yeah yeah I'm the extended yeah this
season where we've spent about seven
months in space together so there's a
little bit more familiarity and I have
no choice yes well it's kind of yeah so
at the end of season one you're heading
toward danger yes it's the planet it's
it's a series of planets is what the
robot calls danger okay
now what do you guys get into during
season two I mean it's season two just
to give you a sense of how much bigger
it is we we went to Iceland we went to
Drumheller Alberta which doesn't sound
as cool as it actually is because they
found the most intact dinosaur bones
they're out of anywhere in North America
so they're just lying on the side of the
road and they're like oh we'll get to
those later oh that's where you got shot
yeah we filmed there and we went all
over Vancouver and terrain forests and
stuff like that so we were all over the
place this year for people who haven't
seen the show but tell them a little bit
about what they can expect
for this season oh man well it's like
you said everything's bigger there's
more adventures we got new characters
coming in and we go a little bit deeper
into the characters and from season one
people I've now have now come to love
these characters and know them so then
it was also easy for us so we can
actually relax more the second season
and kind of bring in more of our flavor
into the characters because because now
people know who we are so you can kind
of sit back relax and then do your thing
and for some reason you guys are up in
space right for years now you've left
planet Earth and now you're kind of I've
I always say you're orbiting but you get
into a lot of trouble up there and then
you also have this character dr. Smith
yes who adds in additional trouble yes
yeah absolutely I mean that's a that's
such a beautiful delicious character
yeah and you know yes and with with my
character they have so much in common
they're both survival this survival is
survivalists survivalists sir survive
wolf we're gonna fix this in post right
survivalists this is so they have a lot
in common in that sense and and she's I
mean she's so great to mess with him too
and season one for sure yes Parker who
parker posey plays dr. Smith me not only
is she's such a great scene partner
partner but she's she's such a great
person to have around on set like I've
learned so much from her and she's
really just like my aunt Parker now you
Maxwell you talked to the robots and you
interact with them the most I was
wondering what's it like to film with
the robots you like intimate scenes with
them you're having very delicate
conversations do you see something
inside um it really depends on the scene
like when he's in his big angry
forearmed scary monster mode yeah he's
there's nothing there usually they'll
just put a tennis ball on a stick and
wave it around like this is the robot
now cry to it oh my god but every time
max and I play tennis he gets really
emotional yeah yeah it brings back some
really
Oh couple memories um but then when he's
in his like human form
I guess he they it's a combination of
practical and CGI effects
okay so there's not a person inside it
depends we do have a gifted performer
and then combined with the CGI it really
crafts the robot it really this stuff it
would the robot is incredible you know
especially and you grew so much from
season 1 to season 2 alright well you
can catch lost in space season 2 on
Netflix starting today
great day Washington we'll be right back
after this short break
