Season One Synopsis
THE LEFTOVERS: From Damon Lindelof, co-creator of “Lost,” and acclaimed novelist Tom Perrotta, this HBO drama series is an original look at The Rapture…because it’s not entirely clear The Rapture happened. Three years after the fateful day when 140 million people disappeared without a trace, the series looks at the ways ordinary people react to inexplicable events that can unite or divide families and communities, examining how their untold grief and the strain of an unprecedented calamity can turn faith into cynicism, paranoia, madness or cult-like fanaticism. Season one series regulars include Justin Theroux, Amy Brenneman, Christopher Eccleston, Liv Tyler, Chris Zylka, Margaret Qualley, Carrie Coon, Emily Meade, Amanda Warren, Ann Dowd, Michael Gaston, Max and Charlie Carver, and Annie Q. The series is produced for HBO by White Rabbit in association with Warner Bros. Television. Lindelof serves as showrunner.
Panelist Bio
Carrie Coon is one of Hollywood’s most sought after and engaging talents. Since beginning her career in acting, she has already fostered an impressive body of work in film, television, and theatre, including a Tony Nomination for her performance as Honey in WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? on Broadway.
Coon stars in the HBO series THE LEFTOVERS. She recently starred in the highly critically acclaimed Twentieth Century Fox feature film GONE GIRL, opposite Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike and Neil Patrick Harris. Based on the best seller by Gillian Flynn, the GONE GIRL tells the story of a man, Nick (Affleck), in a rocky marriage whose life implodes when his wife goes missing and he becomes a suspect for murder. Coon stars in the role of Margo “Go” Dunne, Nick’s twin sister.
She can currently be seen in the off-Broadway play “Placebo” starring in the role of Louise, a PHD candidate working on a placebo-controlled study of a new female arousal drug. As her work in the lab navigates the blurry lines between perception and deception, more and more these same questions pertain to her life at home. With uncanny insight and unparalleled wit, this affectionate comedy examines slippery truths and the power of crossed fingers. The play runs from February 20 through April 5 at the Playwrights Horizons theatre in NYC.
