‘Lost’ Co-Creator Admits To Show’s ‘Inevitable’ Return

"Lost" left many questions unanswered when the show finished its six-season run in 2010. Co-creators Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof may never divulge those answers, but others could one day explore the mysteries of the island again.

"Someone is going to come up with a way to tell another 'Lost' story. I think it's inevitable," Cuse told the Digital Spy. "I don't know what it is or how it would work, but I can't imagine something else won't be done with the franchise."

"Lost" premiered 10 years ago last month and Disney still owns the rights to the series. Cuse doubts the company wouldn't try to capitalize on a fresh idea for the show's continuation or possible reboot.

"Damon and I told our story in that world and I assume someone will come along, hopefully having been inspired by our story, or our version of the story, and want to tell their own story," he said.

Cuse also compared the continuation of his series to the way C.S. Lewis approached the "Chronicles of Narnia" franchise from different angles. Lewis' stories frequently inspired "Lost" plot lines and characters.

"It's like the 'Narnia' chronicles. There are seen books, they were all written by CS Lewis, but they all visit Narnia at different times and different configurations and different ways," he said.

The TV writer and producer recently approached Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" from a different angle in his prequel TV series "Bates Motel" on A&E. The show follows Norman Bates during his teenage years and the abnormal relationship with his mother.
