They're just nameless faces is why. Probably not even actors.

Andie Macdowell is still gorgeous. I've seen pics of her and her daughter before but didn't realize it was the same girl on the show. I remember she was one of those girls in the background on the Emmys or Oscars.
 
Damon Lindelof had a S2 Q&A with TVLine. Spoliers maybe.

The Leftovers EP Damon Lindelof Talks 'Ambiguous' Season 2, *Spoiler*'s Inevitable Return

By Rebecca Iannucci / October 29 2014, 3:34 PM PDT

For fans of The Leftovers, the long wait for Season 2 might bring on the urge to wear white, light up a cigarette and take a vow of silence in protest of the show’s hiatus.

Fortunately, showrunner Damon Lindelof is back at work on the HBO drama, and he’s got big plans for the show’s sophomore run.

Lindelof, who is once again working alongside author Tom Perrotta (whose novel inspired Season 1), says the series will maintain an air of “ambiguous mystery” when Season 2 debuts in 2015.

To tide us over until the show’s return, Lindelof offered TVLine a few nuggets of scoop — including which character might make an unexpected reappearance, how the writing process has changed without Perrotta’s novel and why it’s unlikely we’ll get many answers in upcoming episodes.

TVLINE | How much time will have passed between Seasons 1 and 2?

Some time will, of course, have passed. Anywhere from five seconds to five years. I don’t think we’ll be moving backwards in time — which I’ve done in the past, but not this time.

TVLINE | All of the core characters ended Season 1 in interesting, and perhaps unexpected, places. Will all of those cast members return?

We’re still talking about that. The show can move in unexpected directions, and we’re trying out a number of different ideas. But I definitely think the continuing saga of this family is something that we’re very interested in.

TVLINE | In Kevin’s nightmare toward the end of the season, Patti said they would be “traveling companions.” Can we expect to see more Ann Dowd, in that case?

We try to approach these shows as writers, with our fan hats on. I would want to see more of Ann Dowd, and that character had such an immense impact and power over the first season. I think she’s got more to say. So I’ll just leave it at that.

TVLINE | You’re moving away from Tom Perrotta’s novel in Season 2, correct?

We’re still using Tom Perrotta as a guide. He’s very actively engaged in the creative process on the show. But we pretty much burned through the entire novel in Season 1, so there’s, sadly, nothing left to steal.

TVLINE | What’s it been like to break story without the novel?

We’re just a couple days into talking about Season 2. And obviously, a lot of ideas were starting to fly around as we were working on the first season, but we didn’t know if there was going to be a second season, if there should be a second season or if anyone would want to see a second season. So, right now, it’s a lot of fun to talk about the world at large. The first season was very focused on this one place, but the idea of the show lends itself to a larger, more macro view. Even though it’s ultimately a character-centric story, we’re talking about exploring the premise of the show a little bit more this year.

TVLINE | You’ve previously said that this is not a show about answers. Will that remain the case in Season 2?
It’s very liberating to finally be working on a show that promises no answers. The Leftovers — and ultimately, it’s why I love Tom’s book so much — is about living in a world of ambiguous mystery, which we all live in. We don’t know what happens when we die. Some people decide, “This is what my life is supposed to be, this is what happens when I die. I believe in God, or I don’t believe in God.” But nobody knows for sure. This show really embraces that idea. On Lost, we owed you answers, and you could treat us accordingly. But The Leftovers — we make no guarantees. If you’re looking for answers, The Americans is an excellent show. [Laughs] I would recommend you watch it.

not liking the fact they will be straying from the book for S2. Look at what good that did for True Blood. TB's S1(book) was perfect, S2 (strayed from book) was horrendous.

this was mary-ann season and the dopest season of the show

^aye that S2 was the start of the downfall of TB IMO.

I can respect it though that you liked it, nothing wrong with that.
 
If it's just supporting characters like the article says then I don't know how much more creatively fresh things will be.

Just reading the title though I was hyped cuz if they replaced the whole cast and went to a new location they'd have actually found a way to rope a lot of ppl back in to this. They could probably get away with the first 4 eps not making any damn sense again :lol
 
Good. I was worried season 2 would just show another town at the same time as season 1 with completely new characters.

Hopefully season 2 won't be as frustrating as certain parts of season 1. Now that they've burned through the source material, the showrunners can answer things as they see fit instead of abiding by the book.
 
^ agree.  the rev was definitely my favorite character on the show,
 
^probably late summer like last year unless TD took that slot and TLO gets pushed to the fall.
 
Texas setting confirmed by TVline. Goodbye NY. Production starts soon. Looking like fall or winter premiere because TD has the summer.

So is it the same cast as season 1?

I have been waiting for the return...

True Detective though.. HBO has **** on lockdown 
 
^Only some are returning, this is all according to TVLine:

Leads Justin Theroux, Amy Brenneman, Chris Zylka, Margaret Qualley, Christopher Eccleston and Carrie **** are expected to return. Everyone else will be dropped. To help fill that void, a new African American family will be introduced. Casting for those roles are underway.
