HBOThe Leftovers returns this fall and it's going South, y'all. Season two of the HBO drama starring Justin Theroux, Amy Brenneman and Carrie Coon is moving locations from the fictional Mapleton, New York to Jarden, Texas. In the very vague teaser—hey, it's doing its job of teasing!—viewers get a glimpse at a long line of traffic waiting to get into Jarden. The big kicker: Jarden had 0 departures. Hmmm…
Based on the book of the same name, The Leftovers hails from Lost's Damon Lindelof and the book's author Tom Perrotta. Theroux stars as Kevin Garvey, the police chief of a small town whose family was torn apart by the departure that took away 2 percent of the world's population. None of his immediate family was taken, but his wife (Brenneman) joined a cult called the Guilty Remnant, his son (Chris Zylka) ran off with another sort of cult leader and his daughter (Margaret Qualley) spiraled into reckless behavior. The final episode of season one saw the GR clash with the citizens of Mapleton and hinted at a possible resolution for the Garvey family.
Ann Dowd, Liv Tyler, Christopher Eccleston, Charlie Carver, Max Carver, Michael Gaston and Emily Meade also starred in the first season. However, not all season one series regulars are expected to return to the show in a full-time capacity.
And now for the important question you're dying to know the answer to: Will Theroux's character still jog in gray sweats in the Texas heat?
What do you make of the new teaser? Are you intrigued? No premiere date was given besides "this fall."
