'The Leftovers' Cast News: Producer Teases the Return of Patti, Synopsis for Season 2 Released
Executive producer Damon Lindelof recently took the panel at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills this week to talk about the "resurrection" of Ann Dowd's Patti in the upcoming second season of "The Leftovers."
The character will be back as a series regular and she will apparently "once again be up to no good."
"Suffice to say, she's a huge problem that needs to be solved," Lindelof said. But how will the dead character return?

"We don't want to use her as a Shakespearean ghost, which is to say she's someone there just to comment on the action. She's in the show, but we don't really want to talk too specifically about how she manifests," the show runner teased.
Meanwhile, HBO released the new story synopsis for Season 2, which premieres on Sunday, Oct. 4:
"After last season's elaborate Memorial Day initiative by the Guilty Remnant plunged Mapleton into chaos, Season 2 finds many searching for a fresh start. Kevin Garvey (Justin Theroux) has retired from his post as chief of police of Mapleton and is moving his new family to Texas. With him is Nora Durst (Carrie Coon), who's discovered new purpose in caring for the baby she found on Kevin's doorstep and welcomes leaving behind Mapleton and the incredible tragedy she suffered there. Equally eager to leave the town she grew up in and the friends she made there is Kevin's daughter, Jill (Margaret Qualley)."
"Upon their arrival in Jarden, Texas, the newly formed Garvey family meet their neighbors, the Murphys: John (Kevin Carroll) and Erika (Regina King) and their teenage twins, Evie (Jasmin Savoy Brown) and Michael (Jovan Adepo). Attracted to this special town and hoping for miracles for his whole family, Matt Jamison (Christopher Eccleston) has moved with his wife, Mary (Janel Moloney), who still suffers from consequences of the terrible car accident on October 14."
