Lost is an American serial drama television series that predominantly follows the lives of the survivors of a plane crash on a mysterious tropical island. There, they must negotiate an unknown monster, wild boars, an unpredictable group of prior occupants, strange other worldly characters, each other, and polar bears as they try to survive and attract rescue. The main ingredients that have made Lost an icon for success have been its international ensemble cast, plotline of mysteries, flashbacks and flashforwards to the additional mysteries of the characters' past lives.
It was created by Jeffrey Lieber, J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, is produced by Bad Robot Productions, and is filmed almost entirely on location in Hawaii by their local production company Grass Skirt Productions. The show is produced by ABC Studios (formerly Touchstone Television) and airs on the ABC network in the US. Its musical score is composed by Michael Giacchino. Lost has also been known for its innovative nontraditional marketing, including a world-spanning alternate reality game (ARG) in 2006 called The Lost Experience.
