ABC originally broadcast the television series Lost in the United States.
The network aired the series from its premiere on September 22, 2004, through the finale on May 23, 2010. Lost became one of ABC’s most recognizable drama series during the 2000s, helping anchor the network’s schedule with its serialized mysteries and ensemble cast.
The show was produced for ABC by Bad Robot Productions and Touchstone Television, later known as ABC Studios. Its pilot attracted major attention because of its cinematic scale, large cast, and unusual premise involving survivors stranded after a plane crash.
The network is sometimes confused with the international broadcasters that carried Lost in other territories. ABC refers specifically to the original U.S. network. International viewers encountered the show through different channels, including Channel 4 in the United Kingdom and Network Ten in Australia.
