Matthew Fox has confessed that it will be a "relief" when Lost ends.
The actor plays Jack Shephard in the ABC drama, which will air its fifth and penultimate season later this month.
"Personally, it's a relief," he told Details. "I owe this show a great amount, and I think it's exceptionally good . . . [but] I am looking forward to the freedom that comes with not working on one project professionally."
Fox added that he is also looking forward to moving from Lost's Hawaiian location to be nearer his relatives in Oregon.
"My major motivation is to be closer to family. My brother is [in Oregon], my mother is there. I really miss that kind of wide open space."
