Alcatraz is shaping up to be another hit for J.J. Abrams, and io9 is wondering if it just might be more bizarre than LOST. Now there’s a place on Tumblr for all the news and information about the show, so click through and follow!

Here’s some quick hits about the show, in case you’re not as ridiculously excited as I am to head to a new island:

• Alcatraz will be a “show about mysteries, secrets and the most infamous prison of all time: Alcatraz.” It’s centered around a group of missing Alcatraz guards and prisoners who vanish and mysteriously reappear in the present day, and the FBI agents assigned to track them all down and figure out the truth behind their disappearance. (Time travel!?)
• J.J. himself had this to say: “The show is about an incredibly odd and mysterious turn and secret about the prison of Alcatraz, and a modern-day mystery that involves something very odd that happened there 50 years ago.”
• The cast so far: Jorge Garcia (as a “hippy geek” Doctor), Sam Neill, Sarah Jones, Johnny Coyne, Santiago Cabrera and Jason Butler Harner.
