It has been announced that the 2009 and 2010 series of 'Lost' will be longer than was previously planned.
The Hollywood Reporter says that each series will be 17 hours, not 16 as has been planned.
The extra hours are to compensate for the recent writers' strike which reduced the current season's running time.
Commenting, 'Lost' co-creator Damon Lindelof said: "We were supposed to do 16-16-16. But we ended up doing 14 this season, so we owe two."
The trade daily says that Lindelof has promised an "action-driven cliffhanger" for this season's finale.
He said: "The finale this year will not be as tricky as last year. Hopefully, this year it's a little bit more of a straightforward action-adventure narrative. But the ending of the episode will hopefully engage and intrigue people looking forward to the next season of the show."
