Lost Season One was released on DVD in the United States on September 6, 2005 by ABC Home Entertainment. The set contains the complete first season of the series, which consists of twenty‑four episodes that originally aired from September 2004 through May 2005. The episodes follow a group of survivors of a plane crash who find themselves stranded on a mysterious island in the Pacific, where they must contend with strange inhabitants, supernatural phenomena, and the challenges of staying alive while uncovering the island’s secrets. The season’s storyline introduces key characters such as James “Jack” Shephard, a doctor; Kate Austen, a skilled runaway; Sawyer, a cynical millionaire; and others, and it lays the groundwork for the complex mystery that would define the series. The DVD is presented in a standard two‑disc keep‑case format, with each disc holding a portion of the episodes, and it includes comprehensive special features that expand the world of Lost beyond the television episodes.
The special features on the Lost Season One DVD set are extensive and designed to enrich the viewer’s experience. Included are audio commentaries recorded by the show’s creators and select cast members for several pivotal episodes, offering insight into the writing and directing decisions. There are multiple behind‑the‑scenes featurettes such as “The Making of Lost,” which chronicles the development of the series from its conception through the first season’s production. “The Islands: A Look Back” provides a visual tour of the island setting and discusses the practical effects used to create the exotic environment. The set also incorporates “The Lost Experience,” an interactive online game that was tied to the DVD release and allowed viewers to uncover hidden messages and clues across the internet, thereby blurring the line between television and participatory storytelling. Additional features consist of deleted scenes with optional commentary, a “Lost Glossary” that explains terminology and symbols seen throughout the season, and subtitles in English, French, Spanish, and other languages. The DVD also contains a detailed episode guide with synopsis, character information, and production notes for each of the twenty‑four episodes.
