HBO has released a trailer for the network鈥檚 adaptation of Tom Perrotta鈥檚 novel 鈥淭he Leftovers.鈥澛�
鈥淟eftovers鈥� was first published in 2011 and focuses on a Rapture-like event in which more than a hundred people disappear from a small town and those who are left behind struggle to come to terms with what happened and why they are still there.

The voiceover in the trailer notes that 鈥�2 percent doesn鈥檛 sound like much but 2 percent of the entire planet, of every person on it 鈥� that鈥檚 more than the world鈥檚 10 largest cities combined,鈥� ending on a creepy note: 鈥淎nd like that, they were gone.鈥�
