A reboot of J.J. Abrams breakout TV show Lost would be ‘welcome’ according to an executive producer, but on one condition.

It’s been six years since supernatural drama series Lost left our screens, following six seasons of time-jumping twists and turns, but now executive producer Damon Lindelof has fuelled the fire of a potential revival of the series.

However, he has some stern criteria for any future reboot.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Damon said: ‘Those characters not only died, but we showed you their experience post-death.


‘Any new take on Lost will probably have to feature new characters, as it should.’



Don’t expect Damon or any of the other original creators to come back however, as he believes it would be a ‘betrayal’ for them to return.

‘As it relates to Lost, which was so heavily serialized, I do think it’s somewhat of a betrayal to go back in and say there’s more story to tell that I just came up with now, especially when we had ample time to end it on our terms,’ he says.

‘[Executive producer] Carlton [Cuse] and I always said that we welcome any future crack at the [intellectual property]. Lost was bigger than us and bigger than [co-creator] J.J. [Abrams].

‘There’s something really exciting about the fact that George Lucas sold the Star Wars universe and now the people who grew up watching it are making it. Maybe the same thing could be said for Lost.’

Considering the show largely kicked off our modern addiction to TV box sets, it seems like a return to the show would certainly make sense in this booming golden era.

If you’re craving a Lost reunion in any shape or form however, characters Sawyer and Jin recently had an Instagram reunion.
