Lost’s series finale, broadcast in 2010, was titled “The End.” The episode concluded the six-season story of the Oceanic Flight 815 survivors and the island.
“The End” was written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and directed by Jack Bender. It aired on ABC on May 23, 2010, as an extended finale event following the final season’s exploration of the island’s history and the characters’ ultimate choices.
The episode uses both the island storyline and the flash-sideways narrative. It brings together major characters and reveals the meaning of the alternate-world setting, while the island plot resolves the conflict surrounding its protection.
Earlier Lost episode titles include “The Incident,” “Across the Sea,” and “There’s No Place Like Home.” Those titles are important to the series but are not the name of the final episode.
