Carlton Cuse Discusses a Possible LOST Reboot at ABC
Carlton Cuse, the co-creator of Lost with Damon Lindelof, has finally addressed rumors of a possible reboot or spinoff of the hit show.
With so many classic TV shows getting reboots, it was inevitable that Lost would get consideration for a continuation or a relaunch.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cuse briefly addressed rumors about a possible Lost reboot, and thoroughly shut them down.
“Damon and I have always been adamant that we told the story that we wanted to tell,” he said. “I would be fine if ABC hired somebody who had a good idea [to reboot it] involving other characters that go to the island at some other point in time. I would be less excited if they wanted to use the characters that we had in our show.”
As to whether he would be involved in any sort of Lost reboot, Cuse was blunt. “I don’t think so, no.”
Cuse isn’t sure a show like Lost would even work in today’s television environment. “The challenge is that you have so many more advantages working for a streaming company or on HBO than working for a broadcast network,” he said. “You have time and money, and those are hugely important in terms of eliminating factors that make shows fail.”
