Lost's Final Season Grows

ABC grants a little extra time to wrap up the mysteries.

If you love Lost and are lamenting the series coming to an end next year, then I've got good news for you – we're going to get one extra hour for Season 6.

Previously, ABC and Lost showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse had said Season 6 would be comprised of 17 hours total, but now EW's Michael Ausiello reports, via Twitter, "ABC confirms that Lost's sixth and final season will total 18 hours, including two-hour premiere and two-hour finale." Season 6 was actually going to originally be made up of 16 hours, until the writers' strike shortened Season 4, so this is the second time another hour of the show has been added to the final year.

No exact date has been announced for Lost to return, but presumably it will be in January once again.
