"The Leftovers" Season 3 has been revealed to be the last of the series. Since it will be the finale, the cast and crew feel more pressured to give their best and prove that their show is indeed one of the best programs on television.
When "The Leftovers" premiere in 2014, it can be recalled that the show was heavily criticized for being too depressing. But during season 2, viewers started to praise the show as its quality dramatically improved. Critics have also changed their stance and called the show as "the best."
Following the confirmation of season 3 telecast, the producers also shared who among the cast members are staying, who will make a comeback and who will never return. According to TV Line, lead stars Justin Theroux and Carrie Coon will surely be in the finale. Supporting role players including Christopher Eccleston, Amy Brenneman, Margaret Qualley, Liv Tyler, Janel Moloney and Chris Zylka are staying as well.
It was added that the whole Murphy family that was part of "The Leftovers" Season 2 is joining the final season too. The clan is composed of Kevin Caroll, Jasmin Savoy-Brown, Jovan Adepo and Regina King. Also, Scott Glenn, who was in seasons 1 and 2 is returning as Kevin Garvey's dad.
There was only one person who will not be in the show anymore and she is Ann Dowd. However, it was said that it is possible that she will make a brief guest appearance through flashbacks since she already died in season 1.
Meanwhile, Eccleston who has been playing as Rev. Matt Jamison in the drama was interviewed by Yahoo TV last week and he divulged that they have already started filming season 3. "We started in May in Austin, Texas. We did two full episodes, and we did some interiors for Episodes 3 and 4," he said.
The actor also shared that they filmed in Melbourne, Australia, first and that was about a month ago. He also hinted that the final season will only have eight episodes in total and six episodes will feature Australia.
"The Leftovers" final season has been set to premiere in 2017, but no specific date was given. Fans can watch the show for the last time on HBO. See "The Leftovers" Season 2 trailer below:
