Will Lost be lost due to WGA strike??

Nov 09 2007

24 may be on the back burner for Fox because of the writers strike, but ABC says it plans to air at least eight episodes of Lost in the mid-season. Lost executive producer and co-creator Damon Lindelof was on the picket line this week supporting his writers when he told Broadcasting & Cable about the network’s plans. He said the eighth episode, which is already written, ends with a cliffhanger. So it could, theoretically, cap off a shortened season if the writers strike continues through the New Year.

Lindelof didn’t say whether this changes ABC’s plans to run the season straight-through starting in February. I imagine that if we only get 8 episodes of Lost next season, they’ll probably air in February and then in May for sweeps. Just a guess, though.

Lost’s other high profile executive producer, Carlton Cuse, was also on the picket lines this week. He had a sign that said: “Do you want to know what the island is?”.
