'The Leftovers' News, Update: First Full Trailer for Season 2 Offers A Close Look at Miracle
Over the weekend, HBO released the first full-length trailer for the second season of its hit TV drama series "The Leftovers."
The clip featured the Garvey family moving from New York to the mysterious little Texan town called Miracle. The place claims to have zero cases of the Sudden Departures.
The teaser also gave hints how the people from Miracle welcomed the distressed newcomers. The inhabitants seem to go along well with each other -- until one tragic incident occured.
One of the Murphys didn't arrive home and some intense drama followed. Not to mention the shocking reappearance of Patti Levin (Ann Dowd), who was thought to be dead back in Season 1.
Back in July, HBO released the new season 2 story synopsis which reads:
"After last season's elaborate Memorial Day initiative by the Guilty Remnant plunged Mapleton into chaos, Season 2 finds many searching for a fresh start. Kevin Garvey (Justin Theroux) has retired from his post as chief of police of Mapleton and is moving his new family to Texas. With him is Nora Durst (Carrie Coon), who's discovered new purpose in caring for the baby she found on Kevin's doorstep and welcomes leaving behind Mapleton and the incredible tragedy she suffered there. Equally eager to leave the town she grew up in and the friends she made there is Kevin's daughter, Jill (Margaret Qualley)."
"Upon their arrival in Jarden, Texas, the newly formed Garvey family meet their neighbors, the Murphys: John (Kevin Carroll) and Erika (Regina King) and their teenage twins, Evie (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Michael (Jovan Adepo). Attracted to this special town and hoping for miracles for his whole family, Matt Jamison (Christopher Eccleston) has moved with his wife, Mary (Janel Moloney), who still suffers from consequences of the terrible car accident on October 14."
"The Leftovers" Season 2 premieres Sunday, October 4, on HBO.
