At FanExpo New Orleans (January 9–11, 2026), Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), Josh Holloway (Sawyer), and François Chau (Dr. Pierre Chang) reunited for a Lost panel. Monaghan firmly defended the show's divisive 2010 finale: "If you enjoyed the ride, you enjoyed the show." He pushed back on fans who dismiss the series because of its ending, comparing it to Game of Thrones. He also noted that Lost still dominates fan conventions internationally — accounting for roughly 70% of fan engagement in Brazil. Holloway described the show's lasting impact as "acceptance... a worldwide global community." Chau called it "very satisfying to know something we worked on has touched people in such a way." Monaghan's summary: "One of those benchmark shows in the history of TV."
