He is at the end of a nearly four-year journey to bring Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan best-selling novels to the small screen starring John Krasinski on Amazon, while he is also working on a film adaptation of the cult graphic novel Locke and Key with Netflix. And if that wasn’t enough, has recently signed a $20 million dollar contract with ABC to produce streaming content for them. This will be Cuses first return to ABC since his popular LOST series (he was the showrunner along with Damon Lindelof) ended over a decade ago.)
With his return to ABC, the inevitable questions came up about a possible reboot of LOST and whether the series would work as well these days on broadcast TV with how many options there are to get a show produced. Cuse responded:
“The challenge is that you have so many more advantages working for a streaming company or on HBO than working for a broadcast network. You have time and money, and those are hugely important in terms of eliminating factors that make shows fail.”
As for the possibility of a LOST reboot, Cuse responded to the idea:
“Damon and I have always been adamant that we told the story that we wanted to tell. 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.”
While it appears that a LOST reboot is not in the cards at this time, would you even care to see that well drawn from again or would you prefer for it to stay LOST? Bring us all your opinions at GVNation.
