Lost fans rejoice as entire series is added to Amazon Prime in the UK

The series is regarded as one of the most influential TV shows of all time

Lost fans are rejoicing as the entire series has become available to stream on Amazon Prime.

The US series joins The X-Files, Battlestar Galactica and the American version of The Office as the latest cult hit to be added to the subscription service.

The Emmy award-winning series, co-created by JJ Abrams, Damon Lindelof and Jeffrey Lieber, originally aired in 2004 and drew to a close in 2010 after six seasons. It follows the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 who crash lands onto an island after flying 1,000 miles off course. Upon its original broadcast, the series garnered one of the biggest cult fanbases of all time.

Lost is regarded as one of the most influential TV shows of all time. Just recently, The New York Times named it one of the best series to have been released since The Sopranos.

The series has its critics: in 2010, Lost ended with what could well be the most widely misunderstood series finale in TV history. Its divisive nature has meant that Lost has remained relevant almost nine years after it ended with the existence of many podcasts dedicated to the show still springing up.

Its ensemble cast includes Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Dominic Monaghan, Harold Perrineau, Michael Emerson, Yunjin Kim and Terry O’Quinn.

Amazon Prime adds the series a week after speculation of a reboot was fuelled by ABC.

You can stream Lost seasons one to six on Amazon Prime now. Follow along with podcast ‘The LOST Boys’ that follows two of our writers’s respective journey watching from the very beginning – one for the first time, the other for the eighth.
