Damon Lindelof's HBO Series THE LEFTOVERS Gets a Premiere Date
If you haven't watched the first two seasons of HBO's The Leftovers yet, you should definitely check it out. It's a fascinating series with one hell of a crazy story that has been quite an interesting experience to watch unfold.
If you are a fan of the show, you'll be happy to hear that series creator Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta have announced the season three premiere. It will air on HBO in April of 2017. You can watch them make the announcement in the video below.
I have absolutely no idea what the story for season three will entail, but it will be the final season of the series. When previously talking about how he planned on approaching a third season, Lindelof said:
“The big thing we gotta figure out for season three is: Where are we going to end it? What’s the last episode of this series going to be? We’ll design the entire season basically building up to that moment. I think there was a very purposeful circularity between seasons one and two, with the ‘wherever you go, there you are’ theme of it all. We decided to end the second season very similar to the first season. The Garveys felt like they could pickup and go to this place the Departure didn’t happen, but lo and behold, the same exact thing happened. The only safe place is the place you’re surrounded by the people you love. We can’t do that again, and not just because the audience is expecting it, but because we were telling a story about geography in season two, while season three is going to be something else entirely.”
The cast consists of 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.
