The Leftovers season 3 followed multiple storylines, but the most striking one was the belief shared by some characters that the seventh anniversary of the Departure would bring a second apocalypse, creating massive conflict and tension.

Here's the official synopsis of the show by HBO:

"It has been called 'The Departure': a stunning global event in which more than 140 million people simply vanished. From Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof and author Tom Perrotta (on whose bestseller this is based) comes this epic drama series that focuses on the 'leftovers' of the town of Mapleton as they react to this inexplicable event three years later."
