Broadcast
ABC confirmed on Wednesday, March 21, 2007 that Lost would return for a fourth season. The airdate for the premiere was January 31, 2008 at 9:00PM EST. ABC originally intended to air 16 episodes, to be followed by two additional 16-episode seasons in 2009 and 2010. [1] However, the WGA strike interrupted production of Season 4 and altered the original plan. Having only eight episodes completed by the time of the strike, ABC premiered in early 2008 as intended, and aired all 8 already-produced episodes before going on a 6-week hiatus. Following the resolution of the strike on February 12, 2008, a further five episodes were produced, bringing the total number of episodes to 13. An extra 14th hour was later added to the finale. Story content intended to appear in the fourth season will be folded over into the last two seasons. [2]

The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must continue to work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive. But as they have discovered during their 90-plus days on the island, danger and mystery loom behind every corner, and those they thought could be trusted may turn against them. Even heroes have secrets.
