It occurred to me today that this is something which will likely happen sooner than later:

• It's sixteen years since Lost finished (Christ), which is, if anything, a long time for a famous show to lie dormant these days.
• It's difficult to name a once-finished intellectual property which hasn't been restarted in some way.
• A haunted tropical island is a timelessly appealing setting.
• Lost is particularly well suited for the steeaming landscape in which we live.
• It's owned by Disney, which is always trying to make use of its existing properties.
• The vast majority of its cast are still alive - the show has a deep well of characters to draw on for meaningful/cheap appearances.
• The mystical lore of the show allows for repeating ideas and had large gaps - it wouldn't be too difficult to justify having a smoke monster ticking around or to delve deeper into Dharma or the island's ruins.
• A cheap but easy hook - "Here's some answers to questions you had from 20 years ago."
