US drama The Leftovers has been renewed for a third and final season.

The series, which boldly told what happens when two percent of the world’s population mysteriously vanishes revamped in its second season, relocating to a new city and introducing new brand new characters and averaging 0.67 million US viewers this year.

“It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome back Damon Lindelof, Tom Perrotta and the extraordinary talent behind The Leftovers for its third and final season,” HBO programming president Michael Lombardo said in a statement. “This show has proven to be one of the most distinctive HBO series and we are extremely proud of its unrivaled originality, which has resulted in such a passionate following by our HBO viewers. We admire and fully support Damon’s artistic vision and respect his decision to bring the show to its conclusion next season.”

“I have never, ever experienced the level of creative support and trust that I have received from HBO during the last two seasons of The Leftovers,” said Lindelof. “Tom, myself and our incredible team of writers and producers put tremendous care into designing those seasons as novels unto themselves … with beginnings, middles and ends. As we finished our most recent season, it became clear to us that the series as a whole was following the same model … and with our beginning and middle complete, the most exciting thing for us as storytellers would be to bring The Leftovers to a definitive end. And by ‘definitive,’ we mean ‘wildly ambiguous but hopefully mega-emotional,’ as all things related to this show are destined to be.

“On behalf of our incredible crew and superb cast, we are all tremendously grateful that HBO is giving us an opportunity to conclude the show on our own terms … an opportunity like this one rarely comes along, and we have every intention of living up to it,” he continued. “One more thing. We are blessed by the unwavering support of our fans and the incredibly powerful voice of the critical community. We feel absolutely privileged to heat up one last helping of Leftovers.”

  1. Not to rain on anyone’s parade but I thought season one was awful?? A massive turd. I doubt the second season would be much better. I watched up to episode five of the first season before I bailed

  2. A wonderful show. It will be sad to see it go, but I rather a top quality show going out a tad early, rather than dragging it out and have quality deminished.

    1. I was beginning to think I was part of a one man army when I kept banging on about how wonderful this show truly is in the TV lounge… So glad u share my thoughts about it as well.
      I’m absolutely stoked it’s getting a third and final season… They’ve promised a ‘wildly ambiguous’ last season and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
      On a seperate note, the Golden Globes’ snub of this show has me flabbergasted… How in the world did, at the very least, Justin Theroux miss out on a nom I have no idea…?! Then there’s Carrie Coon, Christopher Eccleston and Regina King to name just a few… I could go on and on…
      Anyway, if u haven’t watched it…. Do!
      That is all. ?
