The season finale of ABC's hit SF series Lost has been expanded to two hours, from the originally planned 90 minutes, for creative reasons, Variety reported. The May 25 finale is also being scheduled directly opposite Fox's American Idol climax, the trade paper said.
Series creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof had planned for a 90-minute Lost wrap-up, but once the final script came in longer than expected, the decision was made to expand the finale to two hours, the trade paper reported. Alias will air its season finale at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
