Lost has been picked up for Season 4

ABC today announced that they will produce and air a fourth season of Lost.

ABC Television Network today announced fourteen early pick-ups for the 2007-08 season for new breakout series “Brothers & Sisters,” “MEN IN TREES” and “Ugly Betty,” as well as returning hits “The Bachelor,” “Boston Legal,” “Dancing with the Stars,” “Desperate Housewives,” “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and “Lost.” The announcement was made by ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson at the March Development Meeting in Los Angeles. These series join previously announced “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” “Supernanny” and “Wife Swap,” which have also been renewed for the 2007-08 season.

I don’t think this really comes as a surprise to anyone, even if there has been speculation in the press about Lost being canceled. In my mind Lost is getting better and better so it’s great to hear that we will see our island friends for at least another season.
