Lost Wednesdays - New Season 5 Sneak Peek and Casting News

Before The Blot gets to the sneak peek, ABC evidently just released some interesting information in the form of a Lost press release. It could be a potential spoiler, so be aware before reading on. In the ABC press release it was announced that both Jeremy Davies and Ken Leung have been promoted to main cast status. On the surface this is really exciting news because it means we’ll be getting a lot more of everyone’s favorite former freighter passengers Daniel Faraday and Miles Straume.


But this news does beg the question, what is in store for the third freighter passenger who was also stranded on the island, Rebecca Mader’s Charlotte Staples Lewis!?! It might just mean Mader had a preexisting commitment or that Charlotte won’t be featured as heavily in the upcoming season…or it could mean something totally different altogether. Only time will tell I guess, but now she is the only non-main cast member featured in the Lost Season 5 promotional poster. So something hast to be up, right? What I don’t get is why Lost is passing up on adding another strong female to the show’s cast. Is it me or is this show totally dominated by the males in its cast?

And now to the sneak peek. Here is a really interesting clip featuring Kate and Aaron from Lost’s upcoming Season 5 premiere episode. ABC will be releasing a series of these short promo clips from the season premiere from now until the show debuts on Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 at 8/7c.



Don’t forget that the Lost Season 4 box set will be available this Tuesday, December 9, 2008 in both DVD and Blu-ray Hi-Def formats.
