ABC’s LOST will be revived/rebooted, but how and when? Speaking to TVLine, co-creator Damon Lindelof admitted that a return to the island mystery drama was only a matter of time, though he hopes the original characters are nowhere to be found:
“I’ve thought about it a lot. [I’m] curious and excited [about the possibility of the franchise spawning a second TV series. [I] hope that when that happens, whoever is doing it, doesn’t take the characters from the original Lost and put them in the new one. Because we worked so hard to end that show and to give [the survivors] some level of closure. I know there was some debate as to whether or not there was enough closure…”
Should the series come back around under a bold new writer, Lindelof maintains that while he would be “pretty interested in their version of LOST using the mythology of the island,” he would only observe the project from a distance:
“It would be really exciting if there’s another incarnation of Lost, I just won’t have any association with it. Not because I’m too good for it. I just feel like, again, we worked so hard to end our story, that to come back and say, ‘Well, that wasn’t the real ending,’ would be frustrating.”
Are you dreading or looking forward to the inevitable LOST revival/reboot series? Stay tuned for updates from the TV afterlife…
