On the other hand, when 2% of the world’s population disappears in an unexplained phenomenon and your destination is a town where exactly 0% of the population has mysteriously departed, a little traffic seems like a reasonable cross to bear. The second season of HBO’s critically-acclaimed drama _The Leftovers_ [will return this fall](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/new-leftovers-season-2-promo-802152) with new characters and a new location. Instead of the fictional New York town of Mapelton, the latest season of Damon Lindelof’s series will be set in the fictional Texas town of Jarden (pop. 9,261). It’s probably too much to hope that there’ll be a crossover with another famous fictional Texas town called Dillon. The Leftovers will return this fall on HBO, though the network has yet to announce a specific date. \[[_THR_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/new-leftovers-season-2-promo-802152)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3919733/leftovers-season-2-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3919733/leftovers-season-2-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch the First Teaser Trailer for The Leftovers Season 2","datePublished":"2015-06-12T20:01:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T08:10:33.118Z","description":"The show has unveiled a new setting","url":"https://time.com/3919733/leftovers-season-2-trailer/","keywords":["Television","Trailer"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eric Dodds","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/eric-dodds/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3919733/leftovers-season-2-trailer/","name":"Watch the First Teaser Trailer for The Leftovers Season 2"}}]}] ```
