THE LEFTOVERS

Lost creator Damon Lindelof made a follow-up of its mystical island drama with The Leftovers in 2014. It tackled the same theme as Lost—destiny, grief, and experiencing life’s mysteries, based on co-creator Tom Perrotta’s novel of the same name. The story revolved around the characters Kevin Garvey (played by Justine Theroux) and Nora Durst (Carrie Coon) and was set in Mapleton, New York.

The characters had to deal with the loss of their loved ones who were included in a global departure as they struggled to rebuild their lives. The hit HBO series received positive reviews, and credit goes to its great story of misery, grief, love, and hope. Indeed the show gained a cult following.
