LOST: Major Announcement coming May 15

In just 10 days, ABC and the producers of LOST will announce their intentions for the continuation of the show.

A while back we mentioned the LOST series finale already being planned, and that plan has been finalized. Kristen from E! Online (a reliable source for LOST spoilers) says that it could be only 2 more years of the show. This is a great direction to go in because loose threads can be planned out to be tied up now and any new plot elements will have definite resolutions. Thats important for a show with such strict rules on continuity, dense backstories and time lines, and large cast.

However, we may have to wait a while for new episodes after this season has run. ABC is considering a non-stop season much like FOX does with 24. New episodes would air from January to May in 2008. The silver lining is LOST is likely to regain its earlier time slot, shifting back to 9, possibly even 8 PM EST.

This is of course all operating under the assumption that Locke doesn’t blow everyone up on accident or on purpose.
