This marks the first foray into cable for the Lost executive producer/co-showrunner and the first project under the rich three-year overall deal he recently signed with Warner Bros TV.”

HBO bought the rights to “The Leftovers” in 2011 right before the book hit shelves. The Leftovers, is a drama based on Tom Perotta’s 2011 book. Leftover’s centers on a small town facing the aftermath of a Rapture, also known as the Sudden Departure. The Sudden Departure caused people from all over the world to disappear.

The story focuses primarily on the town’s Mayor, Kevin Garvey as he attempts to help his city. However, Garvey’s wife has joined a cult known as the Guilty Remnant and his son is a self-proclaimed profit. Nobody is the same after the Sudden Departure.
