The Leftovers sets April return

The third and final season of HBO’s The Leftovers, largely filmed in Australia, will debut in the US in April.

Damon Lindelof said, “Tom (Perrotta), 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.”

The initial set-up for the series was a world in which 2% of the global population had simply disappeared all in the same instant.

The final season, which also filmed key scenes in Texas, will bring back 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.

Foxtel is yet to confirm a date for Showcase.
