While some TV viewers really took to The Leftovers, the HBO series wasn’t a big hit in the ratings. How will it perform in its second season? Will the numbers rise or fall? Cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
Based on the bestselling novel by Tom Perrotta, The Leftovers follows what happens when 2% of the world’s population abruptly vanishes without explanation. The remaining population struggles to come to terms with what it means to be left behind.
This season, the large cast includes Justin Theroux, Amy Brenneman, Chris Eccleston, Liv Tyler, Carrie Coon, Ann Dowd, Margaret Qualley, Chris Zylka, Janel Moloney, Regina King, Kevin Carroll, and Jovan Adepo.

What do you think? Do you like The Leftovers TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season three?
Best show of tv period
Terrific show with a fantastic cast! Give us another season please!
I am so into this show. Best thing to come along in a long time. Great writing and acting. Some of the best I’ve ever watched on television.
Yeah!!! Audience went well and now in Season Finale improve even more because not have TWD yeah. That it will renovation
Huh? Not sure what you mean here.
I think that he’s trying to say is that episode 9 did really well against The Walking Dead mid-season finale. And since episode 10 didn’t go head-to-head against The Walking Dead, it should show even more improvement in the ratings.
The best show on TV now! Excellent cast and story.
Show sucks. Only Jen fans watch it.
Just trolling. Best thing on TV.
The leftovers is one of few shows that are amazing!! One of the best series to ever air!! So sick of great shows in trouble because numbers aren’t always record-breaking, how many great shows cancelled to early and now have huge followings, years after? Viewers like smart greatly acted shows, it will catch on, give these shows a little time. Do these ratings take into account downloaded episodes, or recorded or watched online ? Don’t cancel an amazing show!!
I agree Christopher. I have been trying to think of a show I have ever found so riveting.
The leftovers is the best show on TV hands down. It most definitely needs to be renewed.
totally agree…the season 2 finally was so crazy awesome!! Please bring it back for season 3!!!
This season has completely blown me away… The Leftovers transcends the human condition… We NEED this perspective… We NEED The Leftovers.
Easily one of the deepest and most intelligent shows on Tekevision! So of course the ratings are low! Ugh– I hope HBO gives it at least one more season to finish up the story !!! Should be getting Emmy Noms
Completely agree! This season though actually has extremely high ratings. All but the first episode this season have 100% on rotten tomatoes and similarly high reviews on other sites. Most likely HBO will renew and Lindelof has even hinted at 5 seasons total!
Absolutely! I love the series.
I really hope there is a season 3 and beyond. I will be very saddened if there is not, and I believe it would be a huge mistake for HBO!!
My favorite show! I love everything about this show. It just doesn’t get any better. Credit to the writers that give the great cast such quality scripts.
This show is so unique and so incredibly well done. It’s a shame more viewers can’t allow themselves to get caught up into something so completely different. This show is incredible and I hope it has the opportunity to run its full course.
Man I wasted my time with this show. Not going anywhere. So much hype about it, total let down. Might get cancelled before this season even finishes, if HBO cares about ratings.
Really sucks when you have to actually use your brain when watching a show, Jimmy. Really just hurts that old noggin’ doesn’t it?
Mimmy, theres nothing clever about this show.
Just another cult following like Lost and True Detective.
In fact theres nothing clever about this show or YOU.
The ratings are piss poor and probably wont see a season 4
(might make it to 3).
The only Leftovers will be the people still watching this show…
waiting for their “hug.”
ew
No need to be nasty. We can be mature here.
The first season left me wanting more!
Idk if this needs more commercial plugs or any type of ads to get the word out but hopefully it will stay the course!
There’s a story here and I’d love to find out the rest!
I’m confused out of the gate in season 2 I can say that much!
