FlashForward
This is the most obviousLostcopycat.
A small percentage of people didn’t see anything, adding to the mystery.
The heavy use of flashforwards was majorly inspired byLost’s storytelling machine of flashbacks and flashforwards.
Rapidly declining ratings resulted in an early cancellation despite the finale having a huge cliffhanger of another global flashforward.
Alcatraz
This Fox series premiered in 2012, a couple years afterLostsigned off for good.
But it attempted to reach that same fandom by castingJorge Garcia, a.k.a.
It only ran for one shortened season before cancellation.
Manifest
ThisNBC dramapremiered just last year andhas been renewed for a second season.
Despite a promising start, drastically falling ratings throughout its first season resulted in its cancellation.
Dollhouse

More sci-fi than supernatural,Dollhousedealt with a lot of the same moral themes asLost.
It featured a group of people trying to survive in a wild location, just likeLost.
