AXN viewers are in for a huge treat. The month of July is billed as the Lost month on AXN (Ch.19, UBC), the heart of action and adventure television. Besides the regular telecast on Monday nights (10pm), AXN presents a Lost catch-up marathon with back-to-back episodes from Season 2 every Saturday from 8 July. This is the perfect excuse to throw afternoon parties and catch up on the blockbuster series with friends and family alike. It will also serve as a recap as we approach the final 4 episodes of Lost with its finale scheduled on July 31. Moreover, viewers will stand to win iPod videos preloaded with the entire second season of Lost when they tune in to watch Lost every Monday night to answer a simple question. More details about this contest are available on www.axn-asia.com
Full of twists and subplots, coupled with the combination of cinematic drama, mystery and action, it is no wonder that Lost has won a total of nine Emmy nominations for 2006, including Outstanding Writing for a Drama and Outstanding Directing for a Drama. The critically acclaimed series was also crowned the Best Television Drama Series earlier this year at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
A phenomenal 23 million viewers tuned in to watch the premiere of Season 2 in the United States — a whopping 19% increase than its first season debut. Here in Asia, Lost is the #1* program on AXN in its timeslot (Mondays, 10pm) on all ad supported international channels for Malaysia and Philippines amongst PMEBs since its premiere in March.
For viewers new to the hit series, the Lost marathon is the perfect opportunity to catch up on the great phenomenon that has gripped viewers around the world. For fans, it is another chance to rediscover the intrigue and mystery, and be drawn into each of the character’s fascinating hidden past. In Season 2, the first group of survivors learned that they are not the only ones who made it through the plane crash alive.

Without a doubt, Lost is a true masterpiece from JJ Abrams (Mission Impossible III), the show’s creator and executive producer, who has successfully engaged viewers wanting for more.
