Amy Brenneman has revealed that HBO's The Leftovers will start shooting its third season very soon!

HBO renewed The Leftovers for a third (and final) season in December, shortly after the season 2 finale. But it looks like co-showrunner Damon Lindelof and company have already been hard at work on season 3, based on Brenneman's recent tweet.

The actress revealed Tuesday that The Leftovers season 3 will begin shooting in May:

And as Brenneman noted, she will in fact be involved in the season. Considering the ever-changing locations of The Leftovers, there's still some uncertainty as to who else will be returning.

As for what fans should expect from season 3, Lindelof spoke with The Living Reminders podcast in December about his plan.

"The sky's the limit. The thing I don't want to do is be gimmicky," Lindelof said, when asked about his plan for season 3. "The minute that the audience is like, 'Oh, this show has to surprise me. It takes huge risks.' At a certain point taking huge risks, isn't risky anymore because the audience expects you to take them and then they're not really risks anymore. So I feel like we want to build a story that is mentally satisfying and watchable, but it has the same basic ingredients that any episode or successful episode of The Leftovers to demonstrate which is that you get inside the heads of these characters, and you really care about them and invest in them."

Lindelof added that making the viewers get invested in the characters is ultimately what he is "striving for" in the end.

The Leftovers season 3 does not have a set premiere date, though if filming begins in May, we may see the series on HBO as early as fall 2016.
