'The Leftovers' Spoilers, News & Update: Season 3 Is The Last Season, Justin Theroux Does Not Like To Be Tied Down

"The Leftovers," which stars Jennifer Aniston's husband Justin Theroux, Liv Tyler and Amy Brenneman, grew in following across its first two seasons. However, HBO's TV series is wrapping up with Season 3. Co-creator Damon Lindelof thought that ending with "The Leftovers" Season 3 would be perfect.

Slash Film reports that Justin Theroux spoke about how "The Leftovers" developed between Season 1 and Season 2. "I think it's one of those cases of once you release yourself into the nuances of the show or the mystery of the show" Theroux said. "I think during the first season everyone was asking, 'What does it all mean?' That's kind of the point of the show, and once that clicks for you... I was a fan of the first season, too. I really liked it. I think something happened with season two where the concept became more identifiable."

The "Zoolander 2" writer and actor said that Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta, who also wrote the book on which the series is based, brought the story of "The Leftovers" with mastery. "Really, I credit Damon and Tom, because not many shows take a hard run at the meaning of life, and those guys did," Theroux said. "He's kind of a master at weaving these elaborate tapestries and, somehow, evoking these reactions, whether they're good or bad."

On Season 2's big moment in the episode called "International Assassin" involving Patti Levin played by Ann Dowd, Theroux expressed admiration over Lindelof's craftsmanship. "It hit you in a real uncomfortable place," Theroux said. "A lot of scenes do, but that one in particular. They hit these pressure points. I remember I'd watch it and be just so moved by what Damon was going at. That whole storyline with Patti... when I was reading that particular script, I was blown away. How do humanize an undeniable villain in 60 pages? You also cry for her. It's impressive."

Jennifer Aniston's husband said that as good as "The Leftovers" is, he's actually happy not to be tied down too long with it. Theroux said that shows that go on for too long weigh down not just on cast and crew but also on the audience of the show.

InStyle reports that although Theroux was not able to direct "Zoolander 2" because of commitments to "The Leftovers," the actor who did a well-received turn as the Evil DJ in "Zoolander 2." Theroux showed up sharp and stylish with wife Jennifer Aniston at "Zoolander 2" premiere in New York City.
