Having garnered nominations at the People’s Choice Awards for Favorite New TV Drama, as well as at the 62nd Annual Golden Globe Awards in the Best Television Series — Drama category, LOST makes its highly anticipated debut across Asia on 17 March at 9pm, first and exclusively on AXN.

Inspired by the hit reality show “Survivor”, and created by J.J.

Its intriguing story tells of how 48 survivors of a plane crash must work together against cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive, and that also means unraveling, at the risk of losing their lives, the secret surrounding the island on which they landed, including the intense howls of strange creatures that lurk within the jungle and the mysterious distress signal that has been repeating over and over for years.
Also contributing to the success of LOST is the outstanding cast. Viewers will see familiar faces like Matthew Fox (Party of Five), who won the Golden Satellite Award for Best Actor in a Series, Drama, for his role in the show, as well as Dominic Monaghan, who is best known for his role as the hobbit Merry in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Action fans, especially fans of CSI, will be happy to know that they can soon catch a brand new investigation team in CSI NY next month as well. “There is great anticipation internally with these exciting new shows. LOST will be a definite hit in Asia!” remarks Ricky.
