I spent my Memorial Day weekend finishing “Master Of None” season 2 (terrific) and starting my catch-up of “The Leftovers” season 3 before the finale next weekend. And I honestly can’t remember the last time a show so gleefully leaned into its batshit elements as it neared the finish line. Even Damon Lindelof and co. didn’t go this bonkers with the last season of “Lost,” and I’ve been loving every second, but it all ends on Sunday.
The trailer for the series finale has landed, with lots of provocative imagery, and perhaps some spoilers if (like me) you’re still a few episodes behind. Titled “The Book Of Nora,” it’ll be interesting to see how “The Leftovers” says goodbye, but Lindelof promises it’ll be a satisfying farewell.
“This is it; we left no dangling threads, no to be continued, no spinoff possibilities. We made pretty sure that this was going to be the last season of the show. The audience deserves as satisfying an ending as we can give them. I don’t think anyone wants to see a question mark at the end of this,” he told Variety.
“The Leftovers” airs for the last time on Sunday, June 4th at 9 PM. [Premiere]
