The end is a little bit closer for The Leftovers TV show on HBO. The cable channel has announced that the third and final season of The Leftovers will debut sometime during April 2017. There will be just eight episodes this time around, down from the usual 10 installments per season.
Here’s the press release and a special video:
HBO has confirmed that THE LEFTOVERS will return for its third and final season of eight episodes in April 2017. Created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta, the Peabody Award®-winning drama series focuses on the ways ordinary people react to inexplicable events, following the lives that were forever changed when 140 million people inexplicably vanished from the face of the earth.
The cast of season three includes Justin Theroux, Carrie Coon, Amy Brenneman, Kevin Carroll, Christopher Eccleston, Scott Glenn, Lindsay Duncan, Regina King, Jovan Adepo, Janel Moloney, Margaret Qualley, Jasmin Savoy-Brown, Liv Tyler and Chris Zylka. Filmed on location in Texas and Australia, season three is executive produced by Damon Lindelof, Tom Perrotta, Mimi Leder, Tom Spezialy, Gene Kelly, Peter Berg and Sarah Aubrey; Lindelof serves as showrunner. THE LEFTOVERS is produced for HBO by White Rabbit in association with Warner Bros. Television.
What do you think? Do you like The Leftovers TV show on HBO? Will you be watching season three? Do you think the series is ending at the right time?
I love The Leftovers, but honestly, this is a hell of a long time in-between, while I’ve moved on to other cable delights like Westworld.
Actually, both have such long intervals! At least for The Leftovers, I have a feeling the ratings may feel the pinch of such an extensive delay.
You’re lucky you don’t live in England. Their series are much shorter and much longer between seasons!
Not happy we have to wait till April 2017, but knowing they are taking time with the project lets us know that we will be getting a strong 8 episode finale.
It was worth the wait!
