News Star Wars Another Lost Alum Is Making a Star Wars Series We have to go back! By Molly Templeton | Published on April 22, 2025 Comment 0 Share New Share Lucasfilm announcements are feeling a bit uninspired lately, and this one is no exception: Variety has the news that Lost co-showrunner Carlton Cuse is creating a new Star Wars series with his son, Nick, a writer on Watchmen and The Leftovers. As Variety notes, “There are practically no other details available about the show,” including plot, cast, and when it might take place in the greater Star Wars timeline. Cuse, of course, is hardly the first Lost alum to make (or at least begin) the jump to lightspeed. Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams directed The Force Awakens and, alas, The Rise of Skywalker, which you’d think might give Lucasfilm pause on returning to the Lost well, but here we are. More recently, Damon Lindelof (Cuse’s co-showrunner on Lost) was attached to write the Rey follow-up movie (with co-writer Justin Britt-Gibson) that Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is directing, but he was asked to leave the galaxy far, far away. Cuse has done more than just Lost; more recently, he was the showrunner on Netflix’s Locke & Key. He also worked on The Strain, Jack Ryan, and Colony. At this point, it seems fair to take most Star Wars announcements with a grain of salt. In theory, we are still waiting on a Taika Waititi Star War, a Rian Johnson Star War trilogy, and more projects that have neither made progress nor been officially shuttered. Shawn Levy’s Star War, titled Starfighter, has a star (Ryan Gosling) and a premiere date (May 28, 2027). Meanwhile, we await news on Patty Jenkins’ on-again, off-again, on-again Rogue Squadron.[end-mark] The post Another Lost Alum Is Making a Star Wars Series appeared first on Reactor.
