The Leftovers season 2 renewal/cancellation news has finally been announced by HBO. Fans out there will rejoice in the fact that a second season will be happening in 2015. It should be no surprise, though, since the first season was able to please its audience well enough.
HBO's Head of Programming Michael Lombardo says, "It has been truly exciting to see the overwhelming response to Damon Lindelof and Tom Perotta's provocative storytelling. We look forward to continuing the journey as the show delves deeper into the lives of those who remain."
However, the Leftovers season 2 release date would be the next big question. The finale of the first season has aired in September 7, 2014, so that makes less than a year to date, giving Leftovers season 2 enough reason to show at a later time. How will it pick up from where it left off?
Showrunner Damon Lindelof, who handled series like Lost and the film Prometheus, is the one to take charge yet again. With his attachment to Tom Peratta's novel and adapting it into television, fans will be able to enliven the love they had for Leftovers once season 2 premieres.
With the news of renewal, what can viewers expect from the second season? The plot of Leftovers entails the rapid disappearance of 140 million people, with focus on residents from a small town who have to figure out why they were the ones to stay.
With new series like this one, which are just starting to build their name, it's always a mystery whether the current season, or even episode, will be the last.
It is clear with the Leftovers season 2 renewal/cancellation news that the show has made a positive impression. Following a novel, will the story finally conclude? Or will it lead to even deeper, mind-bending twists until it leads to a long wait for the third? Thoughts are welcome in the commentstion.
