Lost will be wrapping things up with its final season in 2010, but don’t expect to see any preview footage in advance of the season ahead. Show runner Damon Lindelof doesn’t want to air anything that will give even a hint at what the final season has in store.

Lindelof commented: “I think even a single scene from the show would basically tip what it is we’re doing this year, and what it is we’re doing this year is different than what we’ve done in other years. That is the marketing strategy that we are trying to impose upon our masters. I can’t unequivocally say that we will be able to hold the embargo all the way up until the actual premiere, but it’s pretty cool that we’re not showing anything as late as November, so we’ll see. I think once the show actually starts, once we’re back on, then we’ll start showing people what we’re up to.”

Lindelof did give a tiny glimpse at Lost’s final season of storytelling – there will be answers!

“We’re kind of returning back to the same kind of storytelling that put us on the map in the first place and resolving some of these mysteries. I think this had got to be a record for how much patience people have, but the idea that we’re actually getting to answer some of these questions creates this incredible nostalgia, especially when you’re doing it through the characters and the actors who were there in the very beginning, so it’s pretty cool, theoretically.”
