The 12-episode eighth and final season will roll out in two six-episode parts, the first of which begins Sunday, May 14 at 9/8c. The second part will return later in the year.
The final season begins after the conclusion of Season 7, when Morgan and Madison's hopes to rescue Mo from PADRE did not go as planned. Now, Morgan, Madison and the others they brought to the island are living under PADRE's cynical rule. With our characters demoralized and dejected, the task of reigniting belief in a better world rests with the person Morgan and Madison set out to rescue in the first place - Morgan's daughter, Mo.
The drama stars Lennie James, Kim Dickens, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Austin Amelio, Christine Evangelista, Karen David, Jenna Elfman and Rubén Blades.
