HBO’s just unveiled the first teaser trailer for season two of The Leftovers and although there’s not much going on in the teaser, it does confirm the action in the new season will take place a new city – Jarden, Texas to be exact. The little town has a population of 9,261 and zero departures, so it’s become a popular destination.
The Leftovers was created by Damon Lindelof (Lost) and novelist Tom Perrotta and is executive produced by Lindelof, Perrotta, Peter Berg, and Sarah Aubrey. Justin Theroux and Amy Brenneman star in the series based on Perrotta’s novel.
A Look Back at Season One – The Plot:
The Leftovers is an original look at The Rapture…or was it The Rapture at all? Set in a small New York suburb, the intimate family drama focuses on the residents of the fictional town of Mapleton, whose preconceptions are shattered in the wake of a global event dubbed “The Sudden Departure.”
Three years after the fateful day when 140 million people disappeared without a trace, the series looks at the ways ordinary people react to inexplicable events that can unite or divide families and communities, examining how their untold grief and the strain of an unprecedented calamity can turn faith into cynicism, paranoia, madness or cult-like fanaticism.
