Re: Lost - Discuss Future Episodes Here!
Post Comic-Con spoilers:
The final season has been extended to 18 hours of television with a two-hour premiere and finale scheduled. Jack Bender has said they would do a three hour finale if they needed to but highly unlikely.
Damon Lindelof has said that next season will be much like Season 1 in terms of mystery, character stories and "running around in the jungle". First teaser poster for next season resembles Season 1 poster (see below)
Nestor Carbonell (Richard Alpert) has been promoted to a regular cast member. Carbonell has said he will appear in sixteen episodes (out of the scheduled eighteen) next season. Richard's backstory will also be addressed in the next season.
Emilie de Ravin (Claire) will return next season as a regular cast member.
Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet), despite being cast as the lead in a new television program, V, will return next season albeit not as a regular.
Many old cast members will return for the final season. Among the confirmed are Dominic Monaghan (Charlie) and Ian Somerhalder (Boone). Expect to see announcements made soon concerning Maggie Grace (Shannon), Harold Perrineau (Michael), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr. Eko), Jeremy Davies (Faraday) and Rebecca Mader (Charlotte).
Does this mean Jack's plan worked? During the Comic-Con panel, they showed several clips indicating that this might be the case. In one video, Libby's full name was finally revealed to be Elizabeth "Libby" Smith. Links
