'The Leftovers' Reboots For Season 2, Switches Setting And Makes Casting Changes

With the stain of "Lost" forever on his resume, there was a decided wariness among viewers as they entered into HBO's "The Leftovers," the latest effort from Damon Lindelof. Rich on similar themes to the ABC hit series, I'd argue "The Leftovers" navigated that terrain much more successfully, with more complex characters and, thankfully, a healthy balance between supernatural mystery and the concerns of the main players involved. And while the show has been renewed for a second season, it looks like some changes are on the horizon.

Seemingly taking a page from "True Detective," "American Horror Story," and "Fargo" in terms of season changeups, "The Leftovers" is in the midst of what Deadline calls a "creative reboot" with the show relocating from the setting of Mapleton, New York for its second season. But don't panic too hard, as it seems most of the key cast are still involved.
