Back in June it was revealed that Justin Theroux was set to star in a pilot for a potential new HBO series from LOST co-creator and showrunner Damon Lindelof titled The Leftovers.

Based on the book of the same name from author Tom Perrotta (who also writes the adaptation along with Lindelof), the story takes place in a world after the Rapture has occurred.

Now comes word that HBO has decided to give the show a chance, ordering a full 10-episode first season.
