Director/producer Mimi Leder: ‘The Leftovers’ was ‘a life changing experience’

Director/producer Mimi Leder chats with Gold Derby editor Rob Licuria about ‘The Leftovers,’ proclaiming that it was ‘a life changing experience.’ Although she remains tight-lipped about specific details about the series finale, which is due to air on June 4, she believes it will be embraced by fans of the show: “I can’t tell you anything, except that I think you’re in for a very special hour of ‘The Leftovers.’ I would just be open to watching it and experiencing it.” In “The Leftovers,” two percent of the world’s population (140 million people) suddenly and inexplicably disappeared off the face of the Earth, in what is known as the “Sudden Departure.” As the world nears the ominous seventh anniversary of that global cataclysmic event, the show shifts location to Australia, as each of the main characters embark on their own personal journeys of grief, healing and redemption.
