The Leftovers Season 3 Episode 8 Preview

After three seasons and 27 episodes, The Leftovers is down to its final hour with the HBO series' last ever episode airing in the US next weekend.

Garnering a cult fan base since it began in 2014, The Leftovers - from Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta - is ending on a high having earned mass critical acclaim for the final run of episodes which have been among some of the greatest television this century has seen.

Don't go expecting answers: Lindelof himself has been adamant from the very start that the mystery surrounding the event at the show's centre - the disappearance of 2% of the world's population into thin air - will not be answered. the series will undoubtedly end int he same way the show has bee continuing these past few years - providing satisfying yet hugely emotional conclusions for the central characters.

These include Kevin Garvey - Justin Theroux's long-suffering protagonist as well as Christopher Eccleston's Reverend Matt Jamison.

One character who we'll especially get the opportunity to say goodbye to is Nora Durst who has been played to impeccable degrees by Carrie Coon since the show's very first episode. Titled, 'The Book of Nora,' the episode will see the character continue in her quest to be reunited with her family who all disappeared in the Sudden Departure by entering a machine that purports to zap her to... well, who knows?

The Leftovers season three concludes on HBO this Sunday (4 June) and all episodes will ve available to watch in the UK on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV from 4 July.
