Damon Lindelof has been adamant about not returning for a second season which may end up not end up moving forward at all without him, but only time will tell.
I loved the series and it was extremely prescient despite the unwarranted backlash for the infusion of race and politics, I mean, Alan Moore did the exact thing with his original graphic novel.
