The Sudden Departure event at the heart of the mythology of freshman HBO drama
The Leftovers is spreading to the cast. I have learned that a large portion of the fourteen regular cast members in Season 1 — virtually all in supporting roles — won’t be returning in Season 2 as the series is undergoing a creative reboot, moving the setting from the fictional town of Mapleton, New York to a new location.
I hear locked in to come back are most of the leads — star
Justin Theroux, his onscreen family, estranged wife, played by
Amy Brenneman, and children
Margaret Qualley and
Chris Zylka, as well asCarrie c00n, who plays Theroux’s love interest, and
Christopher Eccleston, who portrays former reverand Matt Jamison. As Season 2 is still being mapped out, I hear things are still in flux and there is a possibility for a couple of more regulars to come back — I hear Liv Tyler and Ann Dowd’s names — with others potentially making appearances as guest stars.
Leftovers‘ Season 1 regular cast also included Emily Meade, Amanda Warren, Michael Gaston, Max & Carver and Annie Q.
@ myself 
I'm concerned, but not worried......yet.
