The cast is yet to be officially announced. The fourth season featured sixteen major roles with star billing. The show continues to chronicle the lives of the survivors of the crash of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815, including their interactions with the island’s original inhabitants, whom they call “the Others”, and a threatening team from a nearby freighter. Matthew Fox stars as Dr. Jack Shephard, the leader of the castaways. Jorge Garcia plays Hugo “Hurley” Reyes, one of Jack’s fellow survivors of 815. Elizabeth Mitchell portrays Juliet Burke, a woman recruited by the Others who joins the 815 survivors in the third season and becomes involved in a love square with Jack, Kate and Sawyer. Evangeline Lilly stars as fugitive Kate Austen.

Jeremy Davies plays Daniel Faraday, a socially awkward physicist from the freighter. Terry O’Quinn plays John Locke, an 815 survivor with a deep connection to the island. Josh Holloway portrays the sardonic 815 survivor James “Sawyer” Ford. Naveen Andrews acts as 815 survivor Sayid Jarrah, a former soldier of the Iraqi Republican Guard. Emilie de Ravin portrays single new mother Claire Littleton of 815. Michael Emerson acts as Ben Linus, the leader of the Others.
