"There are big changes in store for season 2 of the HBO series, The Leftovers. Besides the characters move from Stapleton, New York to the small town in eastern Texas, screenwriter/actor Justin Theroux is now a married man. He wed film and television actress Jennifer Aniston in a secret ceremony at their Bel-Air home in Los Angeles, California on August 5 before spending their honeymoon in Bora Bora. "I returned to The Leftovers set in Austin and the cast and crew gave me gave me a big cheer so it was wonderful," said Theroux. Following global cataclysm in which 140 million people disappeared without a trace, Theroux's character must navigate through a new world of those who were left behind. "Season 2 shifts the story to a small town in Texas," explained Theroux, "where something miraculous occurred," he said. "It's a town that's literally bordered by a fence. For my character [Kevin Garvey] and his insta-family, it's a fresh start, but it boxes them in - in a weird and wonderful way." Despite the intense story line Theroux says, "There are frequent moments of levity on set with my co-stars Amy Brenneman, Liv Tyler and newest cast member actress Regina King. It's like a family. You have to keep it light. When the work has to be done, the work has to be done - but if you don't keep it a little light at times, everyone's going to be miserable," he says with a laugh. "It's not a space you want to live in when a camera isn't rolling." When asked what it's like to play a police chief in a post-apocalyptic world Theroux answered, "It's a tough character," he says, "every time you get a new script, it's like, 'Oh boy, it's going to go here.' The walls to his [Justin's character] struggles are high, but I enjoy it." As for Justin's new role as husband, "It does feel different," he said of his marriage to Aniston, but in a REALLY good way. I'm VERY happy," Theroux adds. "It's nice to be able to look down and see a new piece of jewelry on my finger (in reference to his wedding ring)."
Season 2 of the HBO drama/fantasy series The Leftovers premieres October 4.
