HBO has released a set of pics from Season 2 of The Leftovers during its panel discussion at the their portion of the 2015 Summer TCA Tour. Included in the images are returning cast members Justin Theroux, Carrie Coon, and Margaret Qualley along with newcomers Regina King, Kevin Carroll, Jovan Adepo, and Jasmin Savoy Brown.
The Leftover Season 2 debuts on HBO on October 4th at 9 p.m. EST.
Here’s the synopsis for Season 2.
After last season’s elaborate Memorial Day initiative by the Guilty Remnant plunged Mapleton into chaos, season two of THE LEFTOVERS 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). Erika is also a doctor who runs the local urgent care in the town. 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.
Meanwhile, Kevin’s ex-wife, Laurie Garvey (Amy Brenneman), has left the Guilty Remnant and reunited with her son, Tom (Chris Zylka), who may have finally discovered a cause to help replace the pain in his heart. And while Meg (Liv Tyler) remains in the Guilty Remnant, it may not be the same cult she originally joined.
A TV and film veteran with nearly 30 years of credits, King was just nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her role in John Ridley’s ABC drama anthology series American Crime. She also directed an episode of BET’s Being Mary Jane and ABC’s Scandal this year.
