HBO POSTAPOCALYPTIC SHOW
One of the most talked about future television projects is definitely HBO drama pilot THE LEFTOVERS which is currently casting a slate of stars for all the roles. Since we are currently enjoying a trend of post apocalyptic shows THE LEFTOVERS takes place after the Rapture happens but not quite like it’s supposed to. It is the story of the people who didn’t make the cut… and a world that will never be the same.

DR WHO star Christopher 
Eccleston will play a former Reverend and current editor of his self-published tabloid. Carrie Coon will play Nora Durst, a wife and mother who is suddenly neither. Ann Dowd will play the leader of the local chapter of the Guilty Remnant, an organization that is somewhere between a cult and a movement. The story of THE LEFTOVERS is based on the bestselling book by Tom Perrotta from 2011. It will be directed by director and actor Peter Berg and produced by Damon Lindelof.

Twins Charlie and Max Carver from DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES will play happy-go-lucky identical twins who are friends of Justin Theroux' daughter, whose laid-back demeanour brings levity to a dark world. LORD OF THE RINGS star Liv Tyler will be a young woman on the verge of getting married, but needing an escape. As a result, she becomes a target for recruitment by members of an enigmatic cult. Amanda Warren plays the take-no-prisoners mayor of Mapleton, the town in which the story is set.
