Fans of The Leftovers are still buzzing over HBO recently renewing the show for a third (yet ultimately final) season. And Lindelof already has some ideas on where he wants to go with season 3.
Lindelof spoke with Slashfilm recently about why "geography" won't be the theme of season 3 like it was in season 2 with Jarden, Texas being the new setting.

"The big thing we gotta figure out for season three is: Where are we going to end it? What's the last episode of this series going to be? We'll design the entire season basically building up to that moment," Lindelof said. "I think there was a very purposeful circularity between seasons one and two, with the 'wherever you go, there you are' theme of it all. We decided to end the second season very similar to the first season."
Lindelof explained further about Kevin (Justin Theroux), Nora (Carrie Coon) and the others moving to Jarden because it was the only place where the Departure didn't go down, and how they can't just pack up and do the same thing again in season 3.
"The only safe place is the place you're surrounded by the people you love. We can't do that again, and not just because the audience is expecting it, but because we were telling a story about geography in season two, while season three is going to be something else entirely," he explained.
The Leftovers season 3 does not have a set premiere date on HBO.
