Miss Lost? I do, when you are confront with banal TV. So, here comes hope... The Leftovers, two percent of the world’s population that disappears, so the stakes are a little high. The Leftovers picks up three years after the disappearance. This was an approach Lindelof wanted to take as opposed to the immediate event: “This is the moment they get back to their lives as they were or they decide that they can’t get back to their lives as they were, that’s a much more interesting idea.” The setting is a small town called Mapleton, where neighbors begin rebuilding their lives. The Leftovers as the Lost co-creator’s return to TV just might be as successful as Lost itself. Lindelof plans to grow a large ensemble cast. Viewers can expect characters to come and go, just as they did on Lost. Be careful about choosing any favorites, especially on a show where virtually anyone can disappear in a second. As for the main cast, The Leftovers will be in the charge of Justin Theroux’s character, Mapleton’s chief of police who’s a father of two. Theroux has appeared on Parks and Recreation and Six Feet Under. He will be joined by Liv Tyler (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Armageddon), Amy Brenneman (Heat, Private Practice) and Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who, Heroes, Thor: The Dark World). The Leftovers, the Lost co-creator’s latest return to TV, premieres on HBO in summer 2o14. Director Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights, Battleship, Ballers) will helm the series.
