On the next episode of HBO's THE LEFTOVERS titled "Lens", unexpected visitors get under Nora’s (Carrie Coon) skin and she becomes preoccupied with a burning question about herself.

The goal of art is to make the viewer feel. While many didn't appreciate what the first season of HBO's THE LEFTOVERS made them feel, no one can argue that it did, in fact, make them feel something; and for many, more deeply than TV has in a long time.

HBO has revealed an all-new trailer for the second season of THE LEFTOVERS, premiering Sunday, October 4 at 9 ET.
