HBO has pushed back the debut date of Damon Lindelof‘s “The Leftovers” by two weeks. The series, based on the novel by Tom Perrotta, will now debut Sunday, June 29 instead of June 15.
The drama examines life after what seems to be the biblical rapture — though it’s uncertain it really was the rapture. HBO said the new premiere date was necessitated by changes in the production schedule.
