The long-running US cult drama, Lost, is arriving on ITVX this spring for those who are ready for an overdue rewatch or if you are finally looking for an excuse to watch one of the buzziest shows of the 21st century.
The ABC series, starring Matthew Fox, Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly, ran from 2004 to 2010.
It quickly amassed a cult following before cementing itself as one of the most culturally influential American TV shows of the era.
The show was created by J. J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, and Jeffrey Lieber and follows the survivors of a plane crash on a remote tropical island in the South Pacific Ocean.
As our characters scramble to stay alive, we delve into what led each of them here as they begin to uncover a bigger conspiracy at the heart of this disaster.

The six-season series, largely filmed in Oahu in Hawaii, won several accolades during its time on air including a Golden Globe and 11 Emmys (from a whopping 54 nominations).
Lost has an impressive 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and has been praised for paving the way for modern TV.
‘Simply one of the most extraordinary pieces of art ever made. It demonstrates how ambitious, brilliant, and transcendental the serial format can be,’ Google reviewer Neil Geisler wrote.
‘One of the best shows ever made in my opinion. If you’re willing/ready to binge watch a series, I am sure you won’t be disappointed. All of the characters are great and the show just keeps getting better,’ Joe S echoed.
‘One of the best damn shows that I shall never forget along with it’s amazing characters!! Lost gave me everything I wanted great storyline, suspense, funny, emotional and the cast !!’ Megan Pillay shared.
And now it’s available to stream on ITVX imminently (Picture: Touchstone/Abc/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock)Over on X, Mica wrote: ‘We as society don’t talk enough about the fact that the season 1 finale of Lost practically invented cliffhangers and paved the way for modern TV shows.’
And noicebandito warned: ‘I’m not even exaggerating when I say that watching Lost for the first time this year completely ruined my life because there’s literally no other show that can make me feel the way I felt when watching this.’
And Zach Silberberg said: ‘If you’ve never seen Lost, do yourself a favor and watch the opening of the pilot. after 20 years it’s just as intense and brutal as ever.’
Lost arrives on ITVX in April.
