ABC has made official what the producers of “Lost” have been saying for some time: Fans of the show won’t be shortchanged any episodes.
The network says it will shoot 17 episodes each in the final two seasons of “Lost,” instead of the 16 initially planned when ABC and the show’s creative team hammered out a three-seasons-and-that’s-it deal last year.
The extra shows in 2009 and 2010 will make up for the two episodes lost to the writers’ strike this season, meaning the total number of episodes (48) isn’t changing, according to zap2it.com.
Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have been saying as much for a while. In a conference call with reporters last month, Lindelof said they expected to deliver the two shows they couldn’t this year in the future.
