HBO's supernatural drama series has enjoyed positive reviews. The Damon Lindelof series have continuously giving the best impressions on social media, considering that the series has delved into the mysterious lives of the characters. The show has a strong premise, taking place after a global event, called the "Sudden Departure." While the show has been a consistent performer, there were rumors that the show might not return.
Executive producer Lindelof had initially teased viewers on the second season's renewal, hinting at a "creative reboot". He also hinted that the show will continue to have some form of "ambiguity." Fortunately, no conclusive report from the network, nor from the production about the renewal nor cancellation for Season 3. There might have been quite a hiatus, but there -- however -- an assurance that the show will come back for the second season.
"It's very liberating to finally be working on a show that promises no answers. The Leftovers - and ultimately, it's why I love Tom's book so much - is about living in a world of ambiguous mystery, which we all live in. We don't know what happens when we die. Some people decide, This is what my life is supposed to be, this is what happens when I die. I believe in God, or I don't believe in God." Lindelof said.
The show waded through most of the Tom Perrotta novel in the first season. While Lindelof hasn't commented on updates for season 2, viewers are already specultating where would the show lead its viewers.
In the meantime, it was initially reported that the series will be running for 60 episodes. The second season, which will be premiering on around Q2 of 2015 will be stepping into unfamiliar territory as it is.
The show hasn't proven to be as big of a hit as Game of Thrones, but HBO seems to be pushing the envelope in building an audience for the show. What are your thoughts about The Leftovers' plot and storyline? Season 2 will be a huge part and everybody shouldn't miss it.
