19 TV Shows (And 1 Film) Set In The Same Universe As Lost

You do need to buy more than just the Lost box set to complete the full experience.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if characters from your favourite TV shows met each other? What about New York, a city so jam packed with TV shows that characters would run into each other at every street corner. Richard Castle and Kate Beckett would regularly be dallying with the links of Neil Caffrey from White Collar, who would probably be involved in a con with Mike Ross from Suits, while his boss Harvey Specter would have gone head to head with Patty Hewes from Damages. But what if many our favourite TV shows (and the occasional film) did take place in the same universe? Take Lost for example. At first glance it was a show with a self-contained mystery that was resolved at the end of its sixth season. There are many out there disgruntled with the finale, so resolution might be a strong word for some. But the point we're making here is that it had no spin off and no characters from the island ever crossed into other shows. Like many shows, Lost exists in its own narrative bubble... ...Or does it? If you look a little closer you'll find a whole multiverse of TV shows that prove that Jack, Sawyer and Kate exist in the same universe as Agent Fox Mulder or Lt. Al Giardello...or even Maleficent. Yes, we can prove that the stories of Sleeping Beauty and Oceanic Air Flight 815 are connected in ways you couldn't possibly have imagined. But it doesn't stop there. We can name 19 TV shows and one film that exist in the same universe as Lost. Prepare to have your mind blown and click 'NEXT' to continue...
