Season Four
Season 4 will feature (pending resolution of the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike) 16 episodes that will be broadcast in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada beginning on January 31, 2008. More of the Island’s secrets will be revealed as the castaways continue to seek rescue after making contact with a freighter. Season 4 will feature both flashforwards and flashbacks. Production began on August 17, but has halted in late November due to the writers’ strike. As a result, the current plans are to air the first eight episodes of a shortened season.
