Will there be The Leftovers season 4? Renewal status and more

There has been a lot of speculation among fans about The Leftovers season 4 since the series' conclusion on June 4, 2017. For three years, fans around the globe were invested in the show that explored a world dealing with the trauma of the sudden disappearance of 140 million people.

The official synopsis of the show read:

"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."

As of now, there has been no official announcement of the show's renewal for a fourth season.

The series stars Justin Theroux, Christopher Eccleston, Carrie Coon, Amy Brenneman, Liv Tyler, Chris Zylka, Margaret Qualley, Carrie Coon, Ann Dowd, Regina King, and Jovan Adepo in prominent roles.

There likely won't be a season 4 for The Leftovers

As mentioned above, there has been no confirmation from HBO or the creators regarding The Leftovers season 4.

The finale of season 3 comprehensively wrapped up the storyline, answering all the questions and tying up the loose ends of the story, while leaving some aspects for interpretation.

It has been the norm for hit shows like The Leftovers to have sequels, prequels, and spinoffs. But that hasn't been the case with HBO' supernatural drama created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta.

Is there any story left to explore for The Leftovers season 4?

The Leftovers tells a vast story through multiple storylines centered around a mysterious event in which 2% of the world's population suddenly disappeared. All the characters, while dealing with the trauma of losing loved ones, were trying to find answers.

There are plenty of routes that can lead to a spinoff or sequel, but the creators were not up for it.

In an interview published on April 13, 2017, Damon Lindelof told Variety,

"We were starting to wrap our brains around the notion that we weren't going to get any more episodes after the second season. And then, mostly because of the critical response and the audience that stuck through it was so pleased at how the second season turned out, HBO said, 'Do you want to do more?' And we said, 'Only if the show is ending.'

As the creators never showed interest in expanding the story further, the chance of there being a The Leftovers season 4 is highly unlikely.
