“Lost” Series Finale May 23

After six seasons, ABC’s critically-acclaimed drama Lost will close out with a one-hour recap special and a two-hour series finale airing between 8-11 PM EST Sunday May 23, ABC President Stephen McPherson said Wednesday.

Lost made a decent return to ABC last night. The buzzed-about two-hour Season 6 premiere averaged more than 12 million viewers between 9 PM and 11 PM.

“Lost is an example of what happens when you put creativity above everything else, trust the creative vision, and take the risks required to be truly original,” McPherson said in a statement. “It’s a testament to staying true to the creative vision of one of the most iconic shows ever on television, and we’re giving the producers an unprecedented opportunity to respect the fans and really satisfy the viewers with a spectacular conclusion.”

Lost premiered in September 2004.
