Producers of ABC’s hit series Lost, which aired its surprising second-season finale on May 24, told SCI FI Wire that it sets up the upcoming third season, which will focus more on romance—and on the mysterious Others. “The Others are an important part of season three, and there’s a lot of mysteries and a lot of questions about the Others that the audience is going to be curious about going into season three,” said executive producer Carlton Cuse in an interview. “And those are the things we’re going to explore.”
Cuse added: “There will definitely be some new characters on the show next year. Obviously, Michael Emerson, who plays Henry Gale, he’s someone who’s going to be very prominent in the show next year.” Fans were also introduced to a new character who promises to figure in next season’s storylines: Penelope Widmore, played by Sonya Walger.

McFarlane Toys will soon release action figures based on the hit TV show Lost. The figures are scheduled to be released in late fall, 2006.
McFarlane Toys’ Lost Series 1 captures six fan-favorite characters from the series’ first season: Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley, Charlie and Shannon. Each 6-inch Lost figure will have a detailed base and photographic backdrop, capturing an episode-specific moment in the character’s story. In addition, each package will include a detailed prop reproduction central to the character’s story, enabling fans to “own” a piece of the show’s mythology. For example, Kate’s figure will be packaged with a reproduction of the toy airplane that plays so prominently into her backstory. More than just action figures, McFarlane’s Lost figures will once again raise the bar for fans and for the industry.
McFarlane will also be releasing Lost deluxe boxed sets – re-creating key moments between multiple characters, and small-scale dioramas – replicating central locations such as the mysterious island and the infamous hatch.

So expect dominoes to begin to fall tonight as Jack goes on the warpath, Locke discovers something about the hatch map, Kate edges closer to Sawyer, and Eko and others face new tests.
