Its creators recognized that there are possibilities of a "reboot" in the future, but they hope it will be with other characters; the actress noted that "honestly, I hope they don't."
Evangeline Lilly is completely against the idea of relaunching Lost. Given the rumors about it, the actress who played Kate Austen in the ABC series from 2004 until its finale in 2010 was asked by Entertainment Weekly if she thinks the show could return in some way.
"My most honest answer is that I hope not," she said. "I'm really the kind of person who feels like we should leave a lot of these franchises alone. I'm a huge fan of the early Star Wars movies, and I think original content can sometimes be devalued. I think that could happen, And I'd hate to see that happen with Lost."
Those hoping for a return to the mystical island filled with hatches, hostile characters, and a certain Hurley may have to wait a bit longer, though screenwriter Carlton Cuse and co-creator Damon Lindelof recently said they hope to do a reboot at some point in the future. , although they would not be involved. Cuse said in 2017 that "Damon and I are pretty sure we don't have any intention of re-releasing Lost.
I know there's been a lot of shows that have come out lately that have, but we're not on that path. I hope that when that happens, whoever That I do it doesn't take the characters from the original Lost. Because we worked really hard to finish that show and give the survivors some closure. Although I know there's some debate about whether we gave it enough closure."
Cuse's post-Lost work includes Bates Motel, while Lindelof went on to oversee HBO's The Leftovers, which ended in 2017 after a season many hailed as one of the best in a long time; his next assignment will be an adaptation of The Watchmen for the same network.
Last year, Lilly told The Lost Boys podcast that she ended up
in tears after filming a Love scene on Lost; the creators of the series,
including JJ Abrams, sent him a public message apologizing.
