The cult classic television series *Lost* captivated audiences for six thrilling seasons between 2004 and 2010. Centered around a group of survivors of a plane crash on a mysterious island, the show became a significant part of pop culture, sparking intense discussions about character relationships and the show’s numerous mysteries. As the show’s finale aired, many wondered what became of its beloved cast members. Here’s an update on some of the key figures from that iconic show and their journeys since the credits rolled.
