11.20.09 ZOMG! ‘LOST’ PREMIERE DATE SET!
With only two episodes of “Sons of Anarchy” remaining, “Mad Men” in mothballs until August, and “Friday Night Lights” relegated to DirecTV until next summer, we’re running dangerously low on quality dramas right now (Sorry, I don’t watch “Dexter.” File your complaint here). But at least something closer on the horizon: ABC has finally set a premiere date for the sixth and final season of “Lost.”
ABC confirmed that Lost will kick off its sixth and final season with a two-hour premiere on Tuesday, Feb. 2 from 9-11 pm. The requisite recap special will start things off at 8 pm. The following week, Lost will settle into its regular Tuesday-9 pm perch. [EW]
Below the jump I’ve got the updated cast list and the super-sized season 6 poster, but that’s stuff that not everybody cares about, and I didn’t want to lose anyone’s attention before I made it clear that I’m still available if Evangeline Lilly is looking. Good Lord, there isn’t another woman on television who looks that so covered in dirt and wearing torn clothes. She’d be right at home in my basement.
The ABC press release announcing Lost’s return date also revealed who among the show’s cast will receive full-time, series-regular billing in season 6. And the winners are… Naveen Andrews (Sayid), Nestor Carbonell (Richard), Emilie de Ravin (Claire), Michael Emerson (Ben), Jeff Fahey (Frank) Matthew Fox (Jack), Jorge Garcia (Hurley), Josh Holloway (Sawyer), Daniel Dae Kim (Jin), Yunjin Kim (Sun), Ken Leung (Miles), Evangeline Lilly (Kate), Terry O’Quinn (Locke), and Zuleikha Robinson (Ilana).
Not mentioned in the press release, but confirmed to return on a guest-star and/or recurring basis, are Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet), Ian Somerhalder (Boone), Rebecca Mader (Charlotte), Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond), and Katey Sagal (Helen).
