Exactly two years after Lost bowed out with one of the most talked-about finales in TV history, the series’ co-creator/co-showrunnerDamon Lindelof
is returning to the TV island after treading feature waters for the past two years. Lindelof is finalizing a rich three-year overall deal with Warner Bros
TV, which also is the TV home of Lindelof’s mentor-turned-frequent collaborator, Lost co-creator  J.J. Abrams

While he will consider developing projects with other writers down the road, “at this point I still look at myself as a writer,” Lindelof said
" This (deal) is about me creating my next show.” As for what that show would be, he would like to do a broadcast series again and
he definitely wants to try his hand in the cable arena. In terms of genres, after working on several back-to-back sci-fi features,
most recently Prometheus and Abrams’ Star Trek sequel, “I think certainly film-wise, I’m spaced out, I think I’ve got the robot-spaceship
future bug out of my system.” On the TV side, “I probably won’t be the guy who creates the next Mad Men orBreaking Bad, though I love
both of these shows,” he quipped. “What I love about television is character-based storytelling, and I want to continue to explore fantastical
way of doing it where characters live in a world that is a little skewed.” But don’t expect a new Lost from him. “I won’t be the one that would
come up with the next Lost,” Lindelof said, adding that he has no interest in doing more shows with “wackadoo mythology.”

Lindelof started thinking about returning to television last year, about a year afterLost ended. “Movie life is nice and different, but l missed
the energy and excitement of doing series television,” he said. At the time, he felt he didn’t have “stories to tell,”

With Prometheus hitting the screen and the Star Trek sequel wrapped, Lindelof,  repped by CAA and attorney Bob Myman, is close to clearing
his film plate. He is about to deliver his script 1952 to Disney, and if it gets greenlit, Lindelof will produce it while working on his development
for WBTV. After that, it will be all television for the remainder of his WBTV deal. “I’m ready to come back to TV full-time,” he said
