HBO’s LEFTOVERS Debuts New Trailer, Images

HBO’s moody and unrepentant The Leftovers is back for a second season on Oct. 4.

The new season will offer a soft reboot of sorts as the Garveys move to a new town, Jarden, Texas, and encounter new challenges. HBO teases some of what we know, along with new information on what to expect, below.

More than three years ago, 2% of the world’s population inexplicably vanished. 140 million people, gone in an instant. No country, no state, no city was spared, except for one small town in eastern Texas. Population: 9261. Departures: Zero.

This is the setting for a tale of two families: the newly-formed Garveys (Kevin, Nora Durst and Margaret), who have moved to this special place, and whose lives were forever changed by the Departure, and the Murphys, a local family, who seem to have been spared from an event that shook the rest of the world.

Also, attracted to this special town and hoping for miracles for his whole family, Matt Jamison has moved with his wife, Mary, who still suffers from consequences of the terrible car accident on October 14. Meanwhile, Kevin’s ex-wife, Laurie Garvey, has left the Guilty Remnant and reunited with her son, Tom, who may have finally discovered a cause to help replace the pain in his heart. And while Meg remains in the Guilty Remnant, it may not be the same cult she originally joined.

Cast regulars for season two include: Justin Theroux (Kevin Garvey), Amy Brenneman (Laurie Garvey), Christopher Eccleston (Matt Jamison), Liv Tyler (Meg Abbott), Carrie Coon (Nora Durst), Ann Dowd (Patti Levin), Margaret Qualley (Jill Garvey), Chris Zylka (Tom Garvey), Regina King (Erika Murphy), Kevin Carroll (John Murphy), Jovan Adepo (Michael Murphy) and Janel Moloney (Mary Jamison). Created by Damon Lindelof, Emmy® winner for “Lost,” and acclaimed novelist Tom Perrotta; executive produced by Lindelof, Perrotta, Mimi Leder, Tom Spezialy and Peter Berg; co-executive produced by Jacqueline Hoyt, Gene Kelly, Ron Yerxa & Albert Berger.

Produced for HBO by White Rabbit in association with Warner Bros. Television. Lindelof serves as showrunner.

Season 2 debuts Oct. 4th on HBO. Catch the new season 2 trailer and our image gallery below.
