Carrie Coon Reflects on The Leftovers Finale and Nora's Decision

Описание: [Editor’s note: Spoilers for The Leftovers finale are included in the video and article below.]

While Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen seems poised to dominate at the Emmy awards in a couple of weeks, the former Lost showrunner was also responsible for creating a very different kind of HBO series that still feels criminally underrated: The Leftovers. Based on the Tom Perrotta book of the same name, the three-season drama took place in the aftermath of a mysterious event in which 2% of the world’s population suddenly vanished. The series never promised to explain where these people went, and instead put its focus on how this vast “sudden departure” impacted those who were left behind – both physically and emotionally.

The Leftovers finale is set many years after the main events of the show, and after we saw Nora (Carrie Coon) decide to go into a theoretical machine that may or may not send people to where their departures have gone. In the show’s final scene, Nora sits down with Kevin (Justin Theroux) and tells him about her experience going to the other side, where the departures were left roaming a world in which 98% of the population had vanished. Except it’s up to the viewer to decide whether Nora is telling the truth, or if she’s telling a gentle lie.

So when Collider’s own Perri Nemiroff sat down with Coon for an extended interview about her career and her upcoming film The Nest as part of Collider’s Ladies Night, she asked Coon if the actress ever asked Damon if he thought Nora was lying or telling the truth. Find out what Coon said in this clip from her episode of Collider Ladies Nights!
