It was one of the biggest TV shows around when it first aired between 2004-2010, and despite having one of the most frustrating endings in TV history, Lost is still loved by many across the world.

Despite coming to an end after six series in May 2010, the thriller drama series is now back on people's binge watch lists, as all six series have arrived on streaming platform Netflix.

Is Lost on Netflix?

It is, the popular show arrived on the platform on Thursday 15th August 2024, with all six series uploaded. That's a huge 121 episodes!

What is Lost about?

Dubbed as a 'science fiction adventure drama', Lost is an American series which was created by Jeffrey Lieber, J. J. Abrams, and Damon Lindelof.

Airing between 2004-2010, the show follows the survivors of a fictional crash of airline Oceanic Flight 815, as they are stranded on a tropical island and forced to work together in order to survive.

As the show goes on, a number of flashback and flashforward sequences provide more information on the characters.

In total there's six series of Lost, all with a differing number of episodes.

Series one: 25 episodes (2004)

Series two: 24 episodes (2005)

Series three: 23 episodes (2006)

Series four: 14 episodes (2008)

Series five: 17 episodes (2009)

Was Lost popular?

For a lot of TV critics, Lost is actually described as 'one of the greatest TV series ever made', with series two in particular gaining 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

However, without giving away any major spoilers, fans of the show were left angry and frustrated with the ending, with many dubbing it 'one of the worst endings in TV history', resulting in series six only receiving a score of 69% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Over the years, Lost was nominated for a number of huge awards, including 54 Emmy Awards. 33 Teen Choice Awards, and 2 BAFTA TV Awards.

Cast of Lost

The main characters in Lost were played by Matthew Fox (Jack Shephard), Naveen Andrews (Sayid Jarrah), Evangeline Lilly (Kate Austen), Emilie de Ravin (Claire Littleton), Jorge Garcia (Hugo Reyes), Maggie Grace (Shannon Rutherford), Daniel Dae Kim (Jin-Soo Kwon), Yunjin Kim (Sun-Hwa Kwon), and Dominic Monaghan (Charlie Pace).

Other popular stars included Terry O'Quinn (John Locke), Harold Perrineau (Michael Dawson), Ian Somerhalder (Boone Carlyle), and Michelle Rodriguez (Ana Lucia Cortez).

Will there be any new episodes of Lost?

Unfortunaly not, the series ended in 2010.

Check out which TV shows we wish would make a comeback:

Footballers' Wives

Broadcasting between 2002-2006, Footballers' Wives followed fictional Premier League football club Earls Park, as well as all of the drama from both the players and their fiery wives!

Bad Girls

Set inside a fictional women's prison, Bad Girls aired on ITV between 1996-2006 and featured some very famous faces, including Claire King and Debra Stephenson.

Benidorm

Airing for a huge 10 series between 2007 and 2018, ITV/STV sitcom Benidorm was a huge hit with fans. Ever since the show ended, fans have been begging creator Derren Litten to create more.

The Bill

First broadcast in 1983, police drama The Bill certainly proved popular, airing until 2010. The show focused on the lives and work of police officers and starred well-known actors such as Trudie Goodwin, Graham Cole and Mark Wingett.

Don't Try This At Home

Who remembers sitting down in front of the TV on a Saturday night, watching on as Davina McCall helped members of the public take on tough and fearful challenges?


This needs to come back!

Sabrina the Teenage Witch

She was confident, funny, magical AND she had a talking cat. Sabrina made us all want to be a witch!


The show was also rebooted between 2018 and 2020 as a Netflix series called Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Ugly Betty

Believe it or not, it's been a massive 16 years since Ugly Betty last aired on our screens! The show, which featured actress America Ferrera, followed a character called Betty Suarez, who despite her lack of 'style', landed a job at a very prestigious fashion magazine.

Where The Heart Is

The British drama, which was filmed in the Yorkshire town of Skelthwaite, proved very popular with viewers between 1997-2006, showcasing the lives of a group of district nurses and their families.

It's a Knockout

It was stupid, it was crazy, but it was certainly fun! It's a Knockout started way back in 1966, but the show made a number of returns on BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5!

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

We'd love to see Will Smith get back into his character alongside Carlton Banks, however we got the next best thing earlier this year, with the Fresh Prince reboot called Bel Air, which was released earlier this year where Jabari Banks played Will Smith.

Stars In Their Eyes

A true classic! Stars In Their Eyes, originally hosted by Leslie Crowther, first aired in 1990 with Matthew Kelly taking over in 1993. The show did make a return with Harry Hill in 2015, but it didn't quite take off!

The Queen's Nose

Who would have thought that rubbing a 50p coin would be so interesting? We used to love watching the adventures of Harmony as she used up her magic wishes.

Gossip Girl

Although the show was given a reboot in 2021 with a brand new cast, it didn't live up to expectations of the original series, which aired between 2007-2012.

Fun House

We used to love watching two schools battle each other in three rounds of madness. Bring back the gunge and Pat Sharp's crazy hairstyles!

Grange Hill

Despite being at school all day, we loved to come home and watch other people be at school. Strange. But gripping story lines and relatable characters had us glued to our screens.

London's Burning

Airing between 1988 and 2002, London's Burning documented the lives of a fictional London Fire Brigade Blue Watch at the fictional Blackwall fire station.

The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory was on TV from 2007 until 2019. The show centred around two physicists who shared an apartment, Johnny Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter and Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper, and their friendship with Penny, played by Kaley Cuoco, who lived opposite.

Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones lasted for eight seasons between 2011 – 2019. The show starred Sean Bean as Eddard 'Ned' Stark and Kit Harington as Jon Snow.


House of Dragons is the new prequel but we really wish we'd have gotten more (or another ending) to the original Game of Thrones TV show. Who knows, maybe when the last book is out they might make some more episodes…

All six series of Lost are available on Netflix now.
