"The Leftovers" season 3 will bring in the beginning of the end for Kevin (Justin Theroux) and company around April next year. The HBO head of programming Casey Bloys teased about a spring premiere for the final season of "The Leftovers" Season 3. This is to help fill in the gap left by the delay of "Game of Thrones."
"The Leftovers" season 3 was delayed and the reason was cited to be issues in production and scheduling. However, Bloys hinted a very different reason behind the hold-up. "We had a slot, obviously, in the spring, where Game of Thrones was moving out of," Bloys hinted. This means that "The Leftovers" season 3 will get the timeslot that the HBO juggernaut usually occupies. It also means that "Game of Thrones" will not contest in the Emmy next year, reported Christian Today.
"The Leftovers" season 3 has huge potential and can play the part that "Game of Thrones" has when it comes to awards. Though Bloys does not expect the show to dominate, he also does not believe it will slump. However, we should note that his confidence to put "The Leftovers" season 3 in the Emmy contenders slot show that the season has TV Academy-Award material, reported Indiewire.
The closing run of the series could be a very good one and it would be the way we would want the story of Kevin Garvey to end. The exceptional ending will make the long wait worth it. However, "The Leftovers" is yet to get an Emmy. It has a huge fan base. "The Leftovers" Season 3 will conclude in June. That is precisely when the Emmy ballots go out. This will give "The Leftovers" season 3 greater visibility. This would mean that the show will get more awards and nominations. It also means that the show has kept the best for the last. The best run will be in "The Leftovers" Season 3.
"The Leftovers" season 3 was filmed in Australia where Kevin's father lives. The filming of the season wrapped up back in September.
