In terms of replacing Game of Thrones, this is the most direct option you'll find this month, as The Leftovers steps into the show's usual Sunday night slot for eight weeks, which make up the series' third and final season.

After one divisive (and really pretty poor) season and one that saw it transform into a critically acclaimed hit (if still very much a cult one), Damon Lindelof will be looking to stick the landing and go out on a real high.

The show will once again be switching location, taking things to Australia, which promises to be the key to many goings-on over the course of the series.

Set around the seventh anniversary of the Sudden Departure, we're being promised the arrival of a great flood. It could be nothing, but it might also mean the end of the world, and Kevin (Justin Theroux) may be the only person who can stop it. We likely won't get all the answers, but Lindelof has promised that the characters will find peace.

Premiere Date: April 16
