About the series
The Leftovers is an American mystery, thriller and fantasy TV series that chronicles life after a rapturous event takes the lives of many and leaves billions wondering what happened. Created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta, the critically acclaimed series is based on Perrotta’s 2011 hit novel by the same name. Season 1 of The Leftovers debuted on HBO on June 29, 2014.
The Leftovers story revolves around four members of the Garvey family who have each started an unlikely relationship following a rapturous event in which millions of people vanished without any explanations. Starring Liv Tyler, Chris Zylka, Margaret Qualley, Carrie Coon, Justin Theroux and Amy Brenneman, among others, season one of the series averaged just about 1.6 million viewers per episode and was a strong contender for a second season.
Season 2 of The Leftovers premiered on HBO on October 4, 2015 but drew in just 0.64 million viewers - a nearly 60% drop from the previous season. The show is currently slated to run for 10 one hour episodes and follows the storyline developed last season that’s set in the town of Jarden, Texas, also known as Miracle because it experienced zero departures. Viewers meet Kevin and Nora who decide to settle in Miracle with their newly adopted baby girl. So will this season have enough suspense to keep audiences hooked for The Leftovers season 3? HBO has made no official statements, but if ratings continue to plummet, the network may well just choose to cancel the show altogether.
