Want TV News? Visit TVOvermind.comToday, Michael Ausiello tweeted that LOST season 6 is going to have 18 hours instead of the previously slated 17 hours, and fans squealed with glee.
“Tweexclusive: ABC confirms that Lost’s sixth and final season will total 18 hours, including two-hour premiere and two-hour finale.”
Do you think this extension will allow for more story, or did the producers realize that they didn’t want to finish the LOST saga at a breakneck speed? I’m pumped either way!

Wasn’t this hinted at in an earlier interview, when either Darlton or Matthew Fox referred to “the last 17 or 18 hours of the show”? I don’t know why, but I like that each season is a different length.
So we’re looking at…16 episodes? I’m down.
I’m pumped!…2 hour premieire and 2 hour finale. I’m wondering if this was part of the big news they had at Comic-Con. I just they’d been plotting things out and wanted one more hour, much like the strike shortened season needed that 1 extra hour.
I kinda wish they’d extend it even more, but even 1 extra hour is pretty amazing! I’d just love to have the show finished off with a full season like one of the first 3.
But yeah… that is funny that each season has a different number of episodes/hours…
Season 1: 25 hours
Season 2: 24
Season 3: 23
Season 4: 14
Season 5: 17
Season 6: 18
It’d be awesome if those were the numbers… :-/ lol
these are great news… thx
With our luck the extra hour will be another clip show, how many times Hurley said dude in 3 second segments. Just kidding, i’m glad their hooking us up with a little more before curtain call.
Excellent News! Every single added second is appreciated.
Nice!!
I hope that all the episodes will be long, like 45 minutes or something. In that case we have an hour extra too
Yeah, that is how season 2 ended up just being 12 minutes shorter than season 1, despite being an episode shorter.
Average episode runtimes including credits:
Season 1: 42 minutes, 45 seconds
Season 2: 44 minutes even
Season 3: 43 minutes, 5 seconds
Season 4: 43 minutes, 10 seconds
Season 5: 43 minutes, 30 seconds
Lost: 43 minutes, 15 seconds
Fantastic news! I feel like putting on a sailor’s uniform and kissing some random gal in Times Square! Hopefully she doesn’t have herpes…or mace.
