The new season gets underway just two days after the show returned to US television screens.

Meanwhile the producers of the show have suggested that fans are asking the wrong questions about 'Lost'.

Speaking to People, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse said the primary focus of season six will be to address the purpose and function of the survivors of Oceanic 815.

Lindelof commented "We're going to answer the mysteries that have relevance to the characters that were on Oceanic 815. If it doesn't have relevance to them, then we're pretty much going to let it lie there and let people theorise about it.

"What's relevant to the characters on Oceanic 815 and what isn't? That's what season six is all about."

Cuse added: "The focus should be, 'How are the character stories going to resolve? What is the destiny of these people that were brought to this place?'"

Lost will also be available to watch on the RTÉ Player.
