“Lost” 2.5
“Lost” producer Bryan Burk doesn’t want you to think of this coming fall season of “Lost” as season 3.
“It’s more like ‘Lost’ 2.5,” Burk says. “This fall is like a miniseries, then in the spring you’ll have season three.”
ABC announced today that the series would be coming back for only six episodes on Oct. 4, then do a “Sopranos” disappearance until 2007.
Taking the “Lost” slot will be a “Groundhog Day”-like drama starring Taye Diggs as a guy reliving each day while trying to prevent his girlfriend from being murdered in “Day Break.”
Then “Lost” comes back for a spring run that would not include any reruns.
“There’s going to be more romance on the series this season,” promises ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson. “The only note I give that show is character-character-character because I believe that’s what brings people back.”
Burk says to expect more issues addressed and, of course, what the heck becomes of Sawyer, Jack and Kate left in the hands of The Others and the tribe back home trying to cope without their leader Jack.
And let’s not forget those guys sitting in the artic monitoring some activity.
“Yeah. What’s up with that?” says Burk.
Well, at least we know where the polar bear came from.
